Thursday's Devotion: Waking up with Jesus

Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.

I watched some of the program America Sings last night after Joe and I returned from our evening walk. One of the groups was the John’s Creek (GA) High School Chorus. Another group, The Wallace Family sang the Southern gospel song, Jesus on Your Mind. It begins “I woke up this morning with Jesus on my mind.” What a great way to wake up! That is infinitely better than waking up with the challenges of the day or the replay of something unpleasant from the day before on our mind. Another line in the song goes, “The problems of the day they disappear all the time when you wake up with Jesus on your mind.” What if we each woke up and said, “Good Morning, Lord! I give you this day?”

Gracious Lord, Help me to think of you first as I begin each new day. You have given me the gift of life; now let me give this day back to you. Amen.
