Good, Perfect, and Acceptable!

Isaiah 50:4 "...morning by morning He wakens me and opens my understanding to His will."

Good morning,

If you are alive this morning thank the Lord; He is the One Who wakes us up!  But He does so much more than that. He give us life and an eye-opening comprehension of how He wants us to live. 

He wants us to be blessed, joyful, at peace, healthy, and forgiving.  He wants us to be patient, kind, and loving.  He wants us to live by the golden rule, and keep our comments to ourselves.  He wants us to rely on Him when we need to make decisions  -  big or small  -   and He wants us to trust Him for all our needs. He wants us to fully embrace that He is a gracious God and be thankful  every day all day. Most importantly, He wants us to invite Jesus into our hearts so that we can have eternal life. 

All of the above is  described in the Bible as "good, perfect, and acceptable."

Why would any of us resist welcoming something good, perfect, and acceptable into our lives?  Do we really think we can do better on our own?  What would our lives look like if all those things God wants for us were 100% happening right now in our families?

As we rise up out of bed every day, we have also been given the capacity to open up our lives to God's best for us. Let's let Him in!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We welcome Your good, perfect, and acceptable will into our lives.  Make us sensitive to Your life-giving and life-changing instruction.  In Jesus' name, AMEN~
