Acts 17:28 "For in him we live and move and have our being."  As some of your own poets have said, "We are his offspring."

When we awake each morning, some of us hop out of bed and greet the day with a smile; some of us hit the snooze button and groan as we pull the covers over our head. Eventually, we face the day - we "live and move and have our being."

No matter how we greet the dawn, we should be thankful for each day we are given. Whether you've jumped out of bed in joyous anticipation or are still hiding under the covers, you can take a few moments to pray - asking God's guidance for every step of your day. In Him you live and move and have your being - so ask Him to make you a good example for Him throughout your day, at work, at school, in the store, on the road. Ask Him to keep you keenly aware of His presence to guide, help, and comfort each step of the way.

Then get  out of bed and, if you can do it, sing unto the Lord! If you can't sing that early, then just tell Him of your love - He is the reason you live. Need some early morning exercise? Dance before Him - He is the reason you move. If your voice leaves something to be desired, then just make a joyful noise - He is the reason you have your being!
