Step Up Your Game in 2025!
"How You Start Your Day Determines Your Day"
While this isn’t always true, it’s a solid modern proverb that carries a lot of weight.
A good night’s sleep is a gift—a supernatural reboot built into God’s design. During sleep, our brains undergo a chemical cleansing, refreshing both our minds and bodies. Why waste those gains? Starting your day well is an opportunity to set the tone for everything that follows.
Taking this seriously can be a game-changer. It’s not a magic formula, but over time, it can help protect against depression, boost productivity, and increase your sense of clarity and purpose.
Scripture reminds us of the fresh start available to us each morning:
- “The Lord’s compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)
- David sang, “Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.” (Psalm 57:7-8)
- Even Jesus modeled this habit: “In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went to a secluded place to pray.” (Mark 1:35)
You may not think of yourself as a “morning person,” but you are a person created in God’s image, tasked with bringing order to your life and surroundings. This starts with prioritizing your heart and mind and extends to every area of influence God has given you.
Why Start Your Day with God?
- It Declares Priority: Beginning your day with the Lord says, “God, You are first.”
- It Shows Humility: Seeking Him for guidance and strength acknowledges your dependence on Him.
- It Demonstrates Wisdom: Planning your day in His presence sets you up to walk in alignment with His will.
- It Establishes Rhythm: A consistent practice of morning devotion sustains emotional, physical, and spiritual health over time.
If you’ve tried this before but lost your edge, or if you’ve doubted your ability to make it work, let today be different. This message is reaching you here and now because God is inviting you into a deeper, more intimate start to your day. Believe Him for a fresh start and take a step of faith.
Don’t let discouragement or distractions keep you from pursuing this life-giving rhythm. Start today. Rise up with fresh faith, and make connecting with God a priority that transforms your life.
I’ve never met anyone who regretted building this habit—but I’ve seen countless lives changed by it.
May fresh faith fill your heart TODAY. May your start with God lead to an incredible day walking with Him.
