WHY NOT YOU?

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

ARE YOU SEEKING?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

I shared this little excerpt from motivational and empowerment mogul Steve Maraboli at FREEDOM MONDAY.  I just really liked it.

I added a couple shots of the WORD for good measure to Steve’s thoughts.

I know it will sound a little silly, but read it out loud and replace the “you’s” with “me’s”.  See if it doesn’t reset your perspective for the day ahead!

“Why Not You?

Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Psalm 145:5

 I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles.

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

2 Peter 1:0

…your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?

1 Peter 1:14-16

…Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, "I am holy; you be holy."

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

1 Timothy 6:18

 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

Today is a new day!

Many will seize this day.

Many will live it to the fullest.

Why not you?”

Have a blessed day!
