Song for the day

As I drove in to work, I spend my time focusing on God and on prayer. There are mornings that I would rather be lost in thought or just lost in nothing, but we need to be intentional in how we live. It is easy to say I don't feel like it, I am too tired and come up with so many reasons why I don't want to focus on God first thing to start my day. God has given me a knew day to walk with Him, to love Him and in that I should be so thankful, I should be intentionally living and that means praising God, committing this day to Him and not fighting it, but excepting what God has for me.

This morning a song came to me, it is:
Blessed Assurance
by Frances J. Crosby

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

It comes down to our choices, not whether we want to do things or not, not about if we feel like it or not, but by doing it.
