Good Friday morning...for the second time. Yes, one of those early morning installs and then up again in the same morning. The rain is a nice touch though, we can certainly use the moisture in our area. Daydreaming today? I know that Satan would gladly see any of us distracted from the work at hand by losing our selves in daydreams and fantasies. Too easily, we let our mind wander during a time of meditation, or fantasize about something when we should be engaged with another person. This is not to say that imagination or daydreaming is bad in and of itself. Many great ideas and inventions have come from daydreams and imagination. Like many things in this life, our imagination is only bad for us when we misuse or abuse the privilege. Learning to keep our minds in control, or self-discipline, is not an easy assignment. Jesus spoke of lusting after a woman in your heart; one of the commandments speaks is about coveting; avoiding either one is an exercise in mental self-discipline. We don't like the sound of discipline; it speaks against a rebellious nature within us. However, this is something that we must learn in this lifetime.
My mind is especially prone to wandering this morning, probably having something to do with sleeping less than four hours last night. Sometimes a subject for the morning devotional presents itself in my own head. On a morning such as this one, I could easily waste an hour or two in a semi-conscious state of daydreaming. However, that wouldn't get the job done. Hallelujah for the day! I pray that you have a wonderful weekend in Christ Jesus.
Think on the blessings of Christ this day,
Bucky
