Do you ever wake up and you just don’t want to leave your bed? You just want to click the snooze button a couple more times thinking you would get a sudden motivation to move after the tenth time of snoozing. Believe me, I’ve been there. You may just be having a usual lazy morning and want to get some extra sleep in before you’re thrown into the daily duties that you need to accomplish, or you may have had a rough week, or day and you just feel so drained that you don’t want to move at all. Whatever it may be, I’m here to tell you to get up. Get moving and energized because God blessed you with this brand new day! All the stress and worry from yesterday is now in the past and God is giving you a chance to restart. When you get that motivation to get up, make sure God is in the center. Listen to some Christian jams, read your Bible, or pray! Whatever brings you closer to God in your morning and uplifts your mood to take on the brand new day, do it! “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13 NKJV). I have this exact Bible verse above my bed on the wall so when I wake up in the morning it’s the first thing I see. Even if I feel weak, I had a bad day yesterday, or I just don’t want to get moving in the morning, that verse reminds me that God gives me strength to go through each day. He has my back and will be there through thick and thin to keep me strong in my faith throughout the day if I start with Him and don’t stray into the devil’s arms instead. The devil will try his hardest to make you feel weak, but God is stronger. Don’t give up. Live each day with Christ. He has your back. He is our strength. Use the power God has given you! Live out your God-given purpose each and every day! You got this!

Amen.
