A Fresh Start Each Day

8/4/2015

There is an acronym, "POWER", that is an easy reminder for taking a few moments to spend with God each day.

P...Pray - Spend time talking to God all about your worries, needs and plans for the day. Thank Him for the good things in your life and ask Him to guide your choices and to convict you when you are heading in the wrong direction. If you invite Him, God's Holy Spirit will be as close to you as your own breath. 

O...Obey - Once you ask for His help, be ready to obey His direction. Sometimes God will lead you to do a thing that seems silly, or even impossible. But if you trust that God is in control and can accomplish anything, doing what He asks will help your faith continually increase.

W...Worship - Worshiping God is its own reward. When we truly worship all that He is, all that He has already done in our lives and all that He will do for us in the future, we are filled with a sense of wonder and joy.

E...Expect - Prayer, obedience and worship cause us to live in a state of expectancy. We begin to expect miraculous events to occur in our every day lives as we see our prayers often answered. God accomplishes great things through our faith in Him and His son, Jesus. Faith and expectancy are the ingredients that keep God crystal clear in our hearts and minds.

R...Repentance - We are basically selfish, willful people. Our inherent sinfulness is in constant battle with our desire to please God. It is appropriate for us to admit these tendencies to God and to ask Him to help us win the battle that rages within us. To repent is to admit our wrong thinking and to ask God to help us turn from these disobedient attitudes.

A day lived out this way will surely be filled with power!

    “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” —Matthew 5:14-16

    Bio: Toni Smothers has written articles for “Total Health”, “Let’s Live”, “People In Action” and “The North American Mentor” magazines.  She is a member of the Faithwriters.com writing community and was previously the editor for the teen section of their on-line magazine. She has written many programs, sermons, and skits and has edited several websites. Additionally, she has answered hundreds of questions for GotQuestions.org, a biblical resource site. Here is just one of their many testimonials: "Thank you for this insightful website! I was able to look up many questions I have asked over the years since becoming saved. The site is easy to navigate and gave me so much biblical background for answers that I feel my armor has been strengthened. You and your staff be encouraged to continue to speak the truth for God's glory." When Toni is not writing, she can usually be found cuddling with her 5 pound, furry, Chihuahua muse, “Princess Sweet Pea.” Toni Smothers studied homeopathy extensively and became a proficient layman. She wrote about homeopathy for “Total Health” and “Let’s Live” magazines. Smothers describes her experience befriending a refugee family from Laos in her article published in the travel magazine, “People in Action.” Additionally, “American Mentor” magazine has published some of her poetry. Smothers drew upon her fun experiences as a youth pastor to provide the needed insight to function as the editor of the teen section of “Faithwriters” magazine and she is a member of the Faithwriters.com writer’s community.
