THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. The great preacher John Stott used to tell how when he got out of bed each morning, his first words were ‘fill me Lord with your Holy Spirit because I leak’.
Very wise words. Yes, seek God’s face at the beginning of each day. This practice enables you to ‘put me on’ and ‘wear me’ throughout the day. Most people put on clothes soon after getting out of bed. Similarly, the sooner you ‘put God on’ by communicating with Him, the better prepared you are for whatever comes your way.
To ‘wear God’ is to have His mind, His thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit to control your thinking; be transformed by this renewal within you. Thus, you become well-equipped to face the day and whatever comes your way. Clothing your mind in God is your best preparation for each and every day. This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.
(see Psalm27:8 – Romans 13:14 – 1 Corinthians 2:16 – Colossians 3:12)
