Starting Your Day Right: Devotions for Each Morning of the Year (Hardback)

Start Your Day Right

When I said, My foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, held me up.

PSALM 94:18

Some people seem to start their day on the "wrong foot." They feel all right when they wake up, but as soon as something goes wrong, they lose their footing and walk with a "loser's limp" the rest of the day. Once they are off to a bad start, it seems they never catch up.

If someone offends us early in the morning, our anger can keep us defensive all day. If we start the day rushing, it seems we never slow down. But today our feet can be firmly planted in God's Word. There will be no "bad day" when God's Word supports, strengthens, and directs us.
