What get’s you excited? What makes you move in a positive direction? What makes you strive for your greatest? What makes you eager to face the new day? I think that God gets excited about each new day because he is eager to see how things will enfold. He longs to know what choices we will make, how His love for us will transpire. Do I wake up with the same eagerness? Some days, most certainly. I am filled with anticipation. On the days that I am most connected to the Creator, know that I am completely loved and cherished I am able to face the day with eagerness. When I remember who I am there is nothing I cannot face. It is only when my mind tells me there is nothing new here, that I am not really interested and it is the same old same old that I turn off an eager attitude. To be eager means that I expect that God will show up in this situation and experience and I can get excited. Even in the grimmest of times and hardest of feelings if I remain committed to seeing God in it then my experience will be that of transformation. I get stuck when I think that I am all that there is. I can’t do it, or it is not going to work out or I am too overwhelmed or tired. I cannot deal with this person one more time or face the same situation at work. I am only relying on my resources, I have no expectation of God showing up. When I am given a new day, there is a subtle gratitude that greets me most mornings and it is one that I am eternally grateful for. It is the sense that God has given me this day for a reason. All I have to do is align my will with his and all will be well. I will be taken care of, I will be safe, and there might be something to get really excited about. God is eager for me to experience so much and it is only by connecting with him that I can be cognizant of whatever unexpected way that might occur. How can you be eager for God today? My prayer for you is that you may experience the presence of God in such a way that you can be that much more eager tomorrow upon waking and begin little by little to expect God in unexpected ways.
