Have you ever wandered about how you should begin each day? Start the day putting the LORD our God first. Psalm 9:1-2 says, “I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will sing praises to Your name, O Most High”
You may want to ask the LORD what He wants you to do for today; tell Him how you feel or you may want to thank Him for another day. You may want to seek His guidance and directions regarding your priorities for the day. Your purpose each day is to be in God’s perfect will and plan for your life.
