...thinking about first thoughts...

What were my first thoughts as I awoke this morning?

Dread, for the day ahead? Or, delight, in the One Who goes before me?

Fear, of the unknown? Or, faith, in the Faithful One Who knows all things, and is sovereign over all things?

Potential problems that kept me from sleeping most of the night? Or, the promises of the One Who kept me while I slept, and praise for the possibility of knowing and sharing the blessings awaiting as He unfolds His perfect plan?

Jesus said, Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(Matthew 11:28-30)

...fix your eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith...
(Hebrews 12:2a)

Such a wonderful reminder...and challenge as these certainly aren't always my first natural thoughts.
