Yup, It's Tuesday Again

Since the day I take off each week is Monday, that means that Tuesday is my Monday, so I'm going to start calling them Muesdays. And Muesdays are, well, they're the first day of the week back to work, need I say more!

ALTHOUGH, my morning began today with an early rise and some sweet time spent with Jesus in prayer, & reading His word, & trying to listen for His voice. I read a blog this morning that said,

"I believe there is a direct connection between success & time with the Lord."

Now, I'm not sure what his definition of success is, but I was thinking about all things I would like success in today, probably a lot of the same things you do...

• Loving my wife well
  
• Keeping my temper
  
• Having a gentle & compassionate heart
  
• Giving my kids tons of energy & affection when I get home from work
  
• Seeing & stepping into the opportunities today that God gives me to be His witness
  
• Living out of trust with God and not fear
  
• Not falling asleep at my desk after lunch
  

So, whatever you have on your plate today that would create the places for success or failure, I hope you allow those words to ring true in your heart. Success is directly tied to your time with the Lord, where in a quiet place with you He can speak to you, comfort you & continue to shape you.

I also know that those times of quiet are so difficult to create sometimes. Maybe you need to take that time while the kids are napping today, or while at lunch, or on the ride home from work, or just take a really long bathroom break, read in the stall then come back to your desk with an exhausted look on your face; no one will ask anything!

I know this too, no one or nothing else, will fight for you to be able to have this time with God. I know it may feel like, "i can't afford the time" but may i suggest, you can't afford not to take the time. So, whatever your Muesday holds for you to do, I can promise, you will find your success tied to your connection & time spent with Jesus today.

Here's your Guerrilla Lovers Assignment today.

Map out how each day this week you can spend at least a solid 1/2 hour in prayer & reading the bible & listening for God's voice to you.

"How is that being guerrilla", you ask?

Our ability to love like guerrilla lovers comes from being saturated with the love of God. Creating regular space & time to sit & talk with God may be one of the best things you could ever do to serve the people around you in the name of our King & His kingdom.
