It is our decision each day to prioritize our time with Jesus. Jesus Himself told us how we should prioritize in Matthew 6:33: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” We can’t expect to start off strong with God, or hit the ground running, if we don’t dedicate time to Him. When we hit the ground running with God, we are: • Allowing Him to guide us throughout the day • Surrendering our will to His • Attuning to where He wants us to go and what He wants us to say • Making room for Him to work in our lives and the lives of those we encounter • Shining His light for all to see His glory His ways are not our ways. His ways are so much better. When we start our day with Him, we are acknowledging that His ways are better than ours and that we need Him to lead and direct our paths. When we choose to hit the ground running without God, we are: • Saying we don’t need His guidance • Believing our ways are better than His • Alone
