When He Calls, Do You Answer?

Monday Message

What is your “first thing” when you wake up in the morning? Did you know He longs to be recognized first thing, as your first thing?

Thanks so much for joining us today for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United.

Abigail’s words today are a simple but powerful reminder that when we reach for Him first thing, things in life just make more sense. You can just smell the coffee brewing and feel the blanket of peace.
Before I take a sip from my steaming coffee cup
I close my eyes
And bow my head
As my heart looks up
Looking to You
As I push away my own reprove
Desiring to be and become something brand new
A new day
A new sun
Until the pink moon
 
And when the night comes
And the day is done
It is You I look to
My Savior
Your Son
Thanking you for every breath that I breathed
For bringing me peace
In moments when all I wanted to do
Was to break down and scream
Your presence poured out
Filling me with peace
and I breathe
A sigh of relief
 
As I await for my next cup of coffee
That the morning will bring
And take in this moment
Of pure silence
Before sleep
Takes over my dreams
And a teardrop rolls onto my pillow
Not because of grief
But because of the beauty of knowing
That this is where I am meant to be
Right here in Your arms
As You ravel me in silk sheets
And I feel a distance breeze
A small voice
Singing a mama you will be
 
I have called you
And you've answered
To let Me take care of your needs
The days won't always be easy
But I promise you will find the beauty
In the moments in between
Baby smiles
And growing feet
and if you listen closely
My daughter, you will hear me
The softness of the wind as it blows the summer heat
The song of the birds as the gather and they eat
The rising of the sun and the glow of the moon
As you stand still in the middle of what you once feared
And wishing you had faith a little more soon
 
"When I consider your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
and the son of man that You care for him?" - Psalms 8:3-4
