What is the first thing that you do when you wake up in the mornings?

Do you think of it as a new day, and instantly thank the Lord for the new day He has given you? Or do you focus on something that happened to you yesterday?

Have you ever thought about getting up each day and being thankful for the new day, being grateful for the things that you do have, and praising the Lord for the new day.

The scripture tells us that the darker it gets in the world, the brighter it’s going to be for God’s people. The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn shining brighter until the new day. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don’t let that rub off on you.

The worse it gets, the brighter you’re going to shine. Be determined to set the tone for your day by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. Be determined to shine. Stand strong in faith and set the tone for your future!
