All to the glory of God... Waking up

I was thinking during my lunch break yesterday about my theme verse: Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. And I decided that I should go through and consider my day, whether it be "this day" specifically or just my daily routine. Each part of every day ought to be done for the glory of God... So, I started with the first thing... Waking up!

How do you "wake up" for the glory of God?

First of all, I really, really, really, want to be a morning person.... But, I'm not. I am still going to keep trying to become a morning person... But every attempt so far has failed. I can, and do, easily sleep through three alarm clocks going off in my house at the same time. They don't phase me - two in my room and one across the house. But, perhaps I'm off topic... How do you "wake up" for the glory of God?

(Pro 26:14) As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

Well, we learn from this verse that a slothful man just turns on his bed. I know there are mornings (not the ones where the alarm clocks are going off) when I am awake, and just kind of roll over - or turn - to get comfortable and try to fall asleep again. Slothful? Yeah, pretty much...

We give glory to God when we wake up, when we wake up with Him as our first thought, when we thank Him for another opportunity to serve Him before we put our feet on the floor. When we slothfully turn in our beds, we are saying, "Thanks for the opportunity to serve you, but I think I'm going to stay in bed for a few more minutes..." I want to give glory to God by waking up with Him on my mind, not only His work for me that day, but with Him on my mind. You don't have to wake up early to do that, but I think it comes more naturally that way.

So, Whether therefore ye [wake up,] eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Just a thought...
