When you get out of bed, father, thank you for the gift of this day. It's another day you've made. I'm going to choose to be happy. I'm going to see the best. I'm going to be a blessing to others. I'm going to live this day to the full. If you don't set your mind, the enemy will set it for you. You'll wake up, think about all your problems, everything you've done wrong. I'll never break this addiction. I should have eaten better yesterday. I can't believe that coworker was rude to me. Don't start the day off negative. Don't bring yesterday's trouble, yesterday's disappointment, yesterday's failures into the day. Start the day afresh in anew. The psalmist said, "God's mercies are new every morning." Not every afternoon. Not every evening. Each morning, receive the new mercy. How you start the day, many times will determine what kind of day it's going to be. Don't ever start the day in neutral. Don't wait to see what kind of day it's going to be. Determine what kind of day it's going to be. Make up your mind. This is going to be a great day. I'm going to be productive today. I'm going to enjoy my family. I'm going to honor God. I'm grateful to be alive. That's setting your mind. That's making plans for a blessed day. Goes on to say, "Keep it set." That implies things are going to happen that will try to unset it. Challenges, delays, people that are rude, doors that close. You can't stop that from happening, but you can choose to not let it get on the inside. When worry comes, no, my mind is set. God is still on the throne. He's in control of my life. When a fence comes, you get upset, live bitter. No, God is my vindicator. He's fighting my battles. Contract didn't go through. You didn't get the position. You could be down, disappointed, but your mind is set. God, I trust you. I know you wouldn't have closed this door unless you had something better in store. Don't let the challenges during the day unset your mind. Keep it set. Keep it state on him. Keep it full of praise. Keep expecting good things. Keep believing for what God promised you. You know, we don't make enough decisions for ourselves to be honest. We let the devil make too many of them. He comes and whispers in your ear very early in the morning. This is going to be a lousy day. You feel bad. You do this, that reminds you of all your problems. But you can say, no, I've decided that this is going to be a good day. I've decided that I'm going to enjoy everything no matter what. And every day, say, God, I believe that you're going to take care of this. Let your attitude be. If anything good can happen today, it will and it will happen to me. Let's make a decision today and ask God to help us to be positive, to talk positive. Don't ignore your problems, but you can even find a positive way to talk about your problems. Yeah, I've got a big problem, but I've got a big God. You wake up in the morning, thought sometimes whisper, it's going to be a lousy day. Have so many problems. I don't feel like dealing with these children. You can either dwell on that, believe that it's true. You'll go around discouraged. It'll become a reality. You'll have a lousy day. But a better approach is to say, no thanks. I'm not going to dwell on those discouraging thoughts. They came to my mind, but I know I control the doorway. I don't have to allow them in. I'm going to erase them and replace them with some better thoughts. This is going to be a great day. Father, thank you that I'm alive. Thank you that you woke me up this morning. Thank you that I'm healthy. Thank you that you have a bright future in store for me. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

In a little over two seconds, your car can travel slightly more than 117 feet, which is the same length as 20 bicycles. Anything that distracts you while driving is dangerous. That's why driving while texting can be deadly too. So put it down. It can wait. Don't drive distracted. Shifting is safe. A message from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Like when you wake up in the morning, are your thoughts more characterized by by worry or or panic or overwhelm or fear or more by peace and call? When you wake up, does your mind start start kind of racing like about, you know, what's going to go wrong today? I'm worried about my kids. I'm worried about the state of our nation. Our country's out of control. Is your default thinking more worried thoughts or peaceful ones? In other words, even if it's a tough season, do you actually find yourself? No, no, I got it. I could cast my cares upon God today. I can sense the Holy Spirit, which transcends human understanding. Even if life is hard and complex right now, I still sense God's goodness. I sense his presence, his spirit with me. Do your thoughts drift towards the negative or the positive? Do you wake up and find yourself just kind of like negative, critical of people? I'm going to be working with her today and who does she think she is? Kind of assuming the worst instead of believing the best. Do you look at your day and you say, "Man, it's 7 a.m. and I'm already behind. There's not enough for me to go around, okay? My family isn't going to help. And I can't wait for this day to be over." And you're like, "It's 7.15." Or do you wake up with positive faith? Again, even if the day is loaded, you'd say, "No, no, I know Christ is with me." Even when I feel weak, he's strong. He's going to carry me and help me overcome today. Even the hard stuff. I know God's working all things together for my good because I love him and God loves me. Where you actually enter the day with a sense of man, God's given me this amazing life to steward and he's blessed me with some incredible spiritual gifts to use. And so I don't want to waste a moment today. I want to invest myself in things that matter. And I want to make a difference in the lives of people, especially those who are lost or lost in the world. So when everything else falls away from my life on earth, it's going to count for eternity. I want you to listen to me. What you think about on a daily basis matters more than you can imagine. This is the key. He wants us to make a decision every day to enjoy our life. Set another way. It is ultimately up to us if we're going to enjoy life. Even in the face of all that we're going through, and I know so many of you are going through difficult times right now, even in the face of the busyness of life, he wants us to have joy in our lives. He wants us to enjoy our life, not dread life, not just get by in life, not just endure life, not to be stressed out all the time, but to enjoy our life. Jesus said it like this, "The thief comes only to still kill and destroy, but I have come that they might have life." Listen to this. They might have and enjoy life in abundance, life to the full, life till it overflows. Think about it. Jesus came so that we could have and enjoy abundant life. The psalmist said this, "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. God wants us to rejoice and have joy and enjoy every day that he gives us." Instead of waking up and saying, "I'd read that I'd read any." We need to wake up and think, "I can't hardly wait to see what God does today." Amen? God wants me to have joy. He wants my joy to be full. He doesn't want me crying all day out of depression, sadness, or sorrow. He wants me celebrating all day because he wants my joy to be made full. If you want to enjoy life, you've got to let God be God. And that means believe the Word. Get up every day and do the best you can and know that God understands and sees your heart. And if you love him, just love God. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is working to responsibly meet rising energy demand.

And let him love you. When you get up in the morning, what's the first thing you think about? You plan the day? Are you the days already planned? Do you stop to listen to the Lord, speak to my heart about today? What have you got in mind for today? What's your plan? We enjoy life more when we invite God into our everyday life. Sometimes it's so easy to divide our life up into sacred, in secular. We fit God into a box of a Sunday morning church service and maybe a few minutes every morning when we have our quiet time. And then the rest of the time, the rest of our life, it's like we leave God out. But God doesn't want to be put into a box. He wants to be involved in every part of our everyday life. Listen to what the Scripture says in Romans 12. So here's what I want you to do. God helping you. Take your everyday ordinary life. You're sleeping, eating, going to work life and place it before God as an offering. Paul tells us in Colossians, let every detail in your lives, words, actions, whatever be done in the name of the Master Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. I would encourage you to let God into your everyday life. Let him into every detail of your life. We need to invite him into our parenting, invite him into our marriages, invite him into our work, invite him to go to the grocery store with us, invite him into our car as we face traffic, invite him into every aspect of our life. And then do everything we do as unto Him. Do everything we do to please Him. Ask Him for His help as we go through our day. You see, friends, when we start inviting God into every aspect of our life, we find joy in the most common and ordinary parts of our lives. We enjoy life more. Every day the priority of our life ought to be time we spend alone with Him being quiet and a good time to do that's when you start the day out. You cannot go in to work wherever you work, forgetting God. Get to the place in your life where you feel like you've been robbed if you don't have quality time with the Lord. I like to do it when I first get up. Get up in the morning and just begin to praise God. Just lift your hands and say, Father, I just want to praise you today. And I just want you to know how wonderful it is to be able to be in your presence again today. And I want to give you praise and thanksgiving for all the wonderful things that you've already done for me, all the dreams that you've already brought to pass in my life. And I want to thank you in advance for bringing the dream to pass that I'm believing for right now. And I'm delighting myself in you. I counted a great joy and a great honor to spend quality time with you. Spending time with God means thanking Him continually. You know in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 18, God says, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God." And He says, "In everything give thanks, why should I give thanks in everything?" Because in everything God's going to provide. One thing I found is that we enjoy life more when we're grateful. We enjoy life when we recognize God's blessings in our lives and are grateful for them. The Bible says, "Every good gift, every gift that we receive, everything that's good in our lives is from our Father in heaven. I have found the more grateful I am, the more I enjoy my life." You see friends, gratitude and enjoying life go hand in hand. The more we recognize and are grateful for God's blessings in our lives, the more we enjoy our life. We enjoy life more when we focus on the positive, when we see the good in every situation, when we see the glass half full instead of half empty, when we stop looking at what's wrong in our lives and see what's right in our lives. Gratitude. Gratitude will change your view of your world. Are you practicing gratitude? Are you practicing gratitude? Be grateful in all circumstances. Let me tell you the most powerful time where you can be grateful. When nothing in your circumstances tell you that you should be grateful. Because that's the time you get to be grateful for what's eternal. Life at its best is a life that listens to God, trust God, obeys God, and thanks God that's life in its best.
