Sustenance...

Apparently not all offices salute the Presidents by sleeping in.
I passed many people eating in their cars on my way to work today.

Apple chomping lady....Crunchy toast guy...
which lead me to reflect on my choice of breakfast....which may or may not have been, a piece of Angel Food Cake and a Diet Coke.
Fine, it was full of fluff...but I bet I was happier than apple girl and toast guy.
Not to mention, I bet we are all three the same amount of hungry right now.

"Surely God is my help; The Lord is The One Who sustains me." ~Psalm 54:4

So, what is it that sustains you as you start your day?

I can tell you what started President Washington's days....
this is a direct quote from his actual morning prayer journal
:

"Give me grace to hear Thee calling on me in Thy Word, that it may be wisdom, righteousness, reconciliation and peace to the saving of the soul in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Grant that I may hear it with reverence, receive it with meekness, mingle it with faith, and that it may accomplish in me, Gracious God, the good work for which thou has sent it.
Bless my family, kindred, friends and country, be our God & guide this day and for ever for His sake, who lay down in the Grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
"

Whether you are enjoying a day off...or sitting in class....or bringing home the bacon at an office....may we all follow the lead of the Father of our country....who undoubtedly knew WHO the True Father of our country was.

God, Thank You Father, for sustaining us, as only You can.

In His Dust,
DCC
