I crave this time of stillness and quiet as the world wakes up with me. I want these first moments to be perfect, peaceful, and perspective-shaping, but they are often characterized by internal battles and external interruptions of my mind.
The battle in my heart can only be won through Christ’s work within me, remaking my desires, rewiring my mind, and renewing me heart. It’s hard to put Jesus first. I desire to hide God’s truth in my soul, but the world and my interaction with it want to be first instead.
But take heart—He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4)! Christ who loved me first will also help me put Him first thing in my day, my thinking, and my life.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22:20
