1 Chronicles 16:8-9 says Oh give thanks to the LORD, call on His name, make known His doings to all the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to him; meditate on talk of his wondrous and devoutly praise them!
So as you prepare to leave the house....what are you thinking about? What owns your thoughts? Is it how much work you will have today? Is it the meetings you have to sit through? Maybe you haven't made it that far yet, maybe you are preparing for the traffic you know you have to face. Or will the car act right today. Whatever it is...if it isn't thinking about God's works...you probably are unnecessarily stressing. You can't even stress when thinking about what GOD HAS DONE or IS DOING! Look at the picture....does that evoke stress in you? Look at the beauty and magestic nature of the creatures in harmony just EXISTING or should I say CO-EXISTING. When you meditate on GOD's GREAT works you can't help but want to talk to people about them, and hope they notice or see what you see.
So if you do decide to "lose yourself" today make sure it's in meditating on GOD so that the next words that follow are praises of what He's done or doing. One way to help with this mood setting command is to govern what you listen to on the way to work or while at home. BEFORE doing......just listen to at least one song in it's fullness so that you can lend yourself to the lyrics and comprehend..."REALLY...WOW...GOD I'm sorry you are.....(mighty, faithful, lovely____________ you fill in the blank via the song you're singing or listening to)"
GOD BLESS! LGLP
