Change of Mindset

This morning I woke up exhausted! I was nice,warm, and cozy in my bed and didn't want to get up!  I was like its going to be cold when I walk outside and my car is going to be cold.  And right then God reminded me of how many people are on the streets freezing right now,who didn't get a good night sleep because they were cold and sleeping on the hard ground. They may not even have long pants or a jacket on.  It really moved me to get right out of bed and be THANKFUL for all that I have!  Materialistic things keep me from fully seeking the Lord because I get caught up in needing to be comfortable!  The reality of this is that God doesn't always want us to be comfortable, he allows us to be uncomfortable that we may grow in areas of our life!  So the next time you get caught up in the things of the world be thankful for where has you! 

I read a verse last night about being able to give him praise in all circumstances!!

Psalm 143:6

I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. 

David knew to give the Lord praise no matter how he felt!  That he was thirsty for him. Whatever it is thats keeping you from fully seeking Him, give Him praise in the hard times!  Be thirsty for Him!  Go to a whole new level with God today!!
