25,000 mornings
August 16, 2023
Let’s imagine for a moment. What if someone wanted to mess up your life? How could that happen? By messing with your morning. That first thought, that feet hitting the floor feeling, plan, expectation.
My friend, you and I will have approximately 25,000 mornings in our lifetime. Important moments that will shape 24 hours, 52 weeks, 70 years.
Scot McKnight has an excellent recommendation for 25,000 excellent beginnings. Recite the Jesus creed. He does it in Hebrew, English for me. Matthew 22: 37–39.
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Lord, just let me get those two things right today. What better way to start 25,000 mornings.
