The world is constantly changing, <br />But is it for better or worse? <br />How do you start the day? <br />Is it with scripture, chapter and verse? <br /> <br />Before that morning cup of coffee, <br />Toast, a slice of bacon or two, <br />Whatever, however the day begins, <br />Make sure a scripture starts within you. <br /> <br />Awaken the day with a word from God, <br />Not Bob, Jerry and Sally from the morning show, <br />Don’t start the day with a human perspective, <br />Let God decide where you shall go. <br /> <br />Should the quarterback retire? <br />Will the pitcher play one more year? <br />Which is the better recipe? <br />Is this what God wants to here? <br /> <br />This is what so many people believe, <br />And then they are so surprised, <br />When some type of calamity befalls, <br />As they cannot understand, why? <br /> <br />Wouldn’t you rather start the day? <br />With a scripture and God on your side? <br />Where there is no doubt in your mind, <br />Where you are going and why? <br /> <br />Seeking God means putting Him first, <br />He will delight in the desires of your heart, <br />Let that void unconditionally be filled, <br />Making Him the whole and not the part. <br /> <br />Home, school, work and play, <br />How is it you start the day? <br />Then after all you’ve seen and heard, <br />End the day with a message from the word. <br /> <br />A new beau, coach, teacher or president, <br />Nothing is the same everyday you go home, <br />However, the thing that will always be, <br />One God forever sits on the throne.<br /><br />Luke Easter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scripture-starts-the-day/
