And the sun was so bright!
And I need to constantly and consistently start my day with God.
What ties all the above together?
This morning I was running right on the knife edge of punctuality and lateness. I don't know about you, but things can get a little hectic for me when that happens. (Actually, more often that not it's my fault, so there is no blame in this for anyone but myself...)
Pulling on my motorbike jacket, the smell of leather was an instant reminder of the joy of being on the bike.
I smiled.
Pulling out of the driveway, the sun was directly in my eyes, a vivid orange, glowing intensely through the misty curtain of rain between us.
I love sunrises. I squinted.
Then I smiled.
It arrested me this morning that, pulling myself out of bed, I need to actively decide to spend time with God.
First thing.
Recalling the Son rise that has happened. For my sake.
Remembering that He has clothed me, not with leather as protection, but Himself. It's His fragrance on me, not the smell of cow. Or me.
I squinted: I don't do this anywhere near regularly enough. I allow busy-ness to distract me. Not good.
Then I smiled: He has graciously reminded me. I enjoy time with my maker.
What distracts you from quality time with God?
What do you need to do about those distractions?
