First Song That I Sing

About two years ago, I vowed to begin each day asking for God's guidance and priorities for my day. I promised to ask Him to show me how He wanted me to invest my time, and while it sounds a little different every day, essentially, I have kept that promise.

The problem, I've come to realize, is not remembering to spend that time with Him each morning or to ask for His annointing for the tasks I face, or even to ask Him to reveal what HE wants done that day...

The problem is remembering I've done so!!

So often I find I say the words in the early morning stillness, but by the time everyone's up and the before-school rush is on, I've already forgotten. I've forgotten that just moments before I asked God to help me slow down and focus on what's truly important rather than just all the immediately urgent-seeming stuff; that I asked Him to place HIS priorities on my heart and my mind. I complain, I get impatient, I speak unkindly...

This song is a good reminder. Not only to try and shift my focus to HIS plans and HIS desires, but to His goodness, His mercy, His all-sufficient grace, too.

Happy weekend!!
