Monday Morning Thoughtful Thoughts ~

Oh no -  don't run off thinking this could be an inspirational devotion that might challenge us beyond our Monday Morning ability to endure..just allow a quiet moment or two and then we can all be on our way...into the fray.  [Well it does rhyme ]

 

I [almost] jumped out of bed this Monday Morning around 6:30 a.m.. Yes, it was that kind of wake up.  Sometimes I am on my feet with something akin to a 'song in my heart' and even in those

wide awake, aware times I can  fail to turn to the Lord and invite Him into my splash of happy.

 

Wondering why I am wearing such happy shoes this morning?  Ask another time.  I don't know.

Maybe it's as simple a thing as - Good grief [ Jonell ] it's the JOY OF THE LORD
.

We ask Him to fill us with a thankful heart [btw one of the best things to pray for regulary] and then bless my soul if I'm not finding myself amazed that He actually does it.  Shame on me! I'm thinking you may often do the same thing...praying for things-changes-additions or corrections [ s m i l e ] and then standing in the middle of the room asking self: 'Why am I so joyful or thankful?'

 

 

The easiest verses  to access on automatic early in the morning are those in the Psalms that read:

 

• Create in me a clean  heart and renew a right spirit within me Ps. 51: 11

• Let the words of my mouth and the meditaion [s] of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, Oh Lord my strength and my Redeemer  Psalm: 19:14

[oftentimes slightly revised acc jwh translation]

 

 

Home Wrapped Around Us/Me

 

And just an aside post script:  Have you ever noticed when you try to access [recall] a meaningful scripture you find yourself  stopped not knowing the 'rest of the verse'.....
Answer: Satan steals it
Solution:  Use it more often


Post Script # 2
I know, I know Lord I need to focus on some new at the ready verses - remember the times when You led me to committing so many to memory- Okay I 'get it'..need to revisit-don't give up on me.

Thanksgiving - Joy - Mercy
