Some truths we use in our everyday language might change how we think and respond to life if we think deeply about them. Forrest Frank has a song out, “Good Day,” that I’ve used as the celebration theme song for the release of my new novel, “A Seat at the Table.” However, the lyrics inspired me to meditate on Scripture in a new way.
Lift your eyes to the heavens as we meditate on the God who made the universe.

This Week’s Challenge
Meditate on our God who made the universe. Treat this idea like you would something you worry about. Read about what the Bible says about it, talk about it with a friend, listen to a podcast to get a fresh perspective, roll it around in your mind a bit, and let what you’ve learned to change the way you pray.
