Early in the morning

Everyday I wake up early and begin the day. Getting up is never easy but laying in bed, unable to sleep is a real drag. The first thing I do is take our Yorkie, Benji, outside to do his jobs. Afterward, I head up the stairs to my office to check my email, to do my reading and to allow the Living God to interact with my heart and mind. It is in the inner times with the Lord that He often provides for me the food that I need to do the day. God always is faithful with a word to sustain the weary.

Yesterday I talk briefly with a team from my Church, Apex, who are going to Okahandja, Namibia to work with Christ’s Hope International in fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic. I shared with them two thoughts that God had given me that day which I am trying to make a part of my life.
1. “Let me build for the years I shall not see” – Charles Cowman
It will take generations, if the Lord does not return, for the people on the continent of Africa to go sufficiently deep enough with the Lord to change the sexual promiscuous culture that is destroying the continent. They must see that they are special and that God has created them to save themselves for His best.
2. “The beginning of greatness is LITTLE, the increase of greatness is to be LESS, and the peerfection of greatness is to be NOTHING”. – D.L. Moody
I must decrease, He must increase.
