I am consumed with myself all day long, did you know that? I am! Uggh, but I am praying to be more consumed with the Lord than myself. I can tell if I have been in the Word or not, because early afternoon when I start getting a bit upset or self-focused, it is because I haven't spent time with the Lord. When I do start my mornings off in His Word, I notice a huge difference. I am able to chew and meditate on Him throughout the day instead of thinking about myself. I we want to be consumed with ourselves, we have that luxury, but we will be eventually torn down and uprooted...and those two words do not sound fun, do they? So let's allow ourselves to be moved by God...to be consumed with God. Let's start our morning tomorrow focused on His Word and start the day off that way. Don't seek anything else until you have first sought the Lord, that is what my goal is every day.
