You will be judged by your conduct and your actions. I’m not an early morning person. Not because I don’t want to be but because my body doesn’t get in gear until about 11:00 AM, and 11:00 PM finds me revved. I’m a confirmed insomniac.

However, the real world insists that I am at work by 8:00 AM with a smile on my face. I wish I greeted everyone like my dad, who sings “Let a smile be your umbrella” or like my mother, who plays the piano robustly. But I, at least, don’t growl.

“Act the way you want to feel and soon you will discover you are feeling that way.” Have you heard that? I also know it is true because I taught drama to high school sophomores for ten years and saw that our actions become habits.

Make a habit of praising God and you will continue to praise Him and mean the words. Read His words, obey His words and your conduct and your actions will follow in His way.

Wake up early, act glad to be alive, and you will soon realize that you are glad. In fact, when Saturday rolls around your trained body clock will wake you up at 6:30 AM to greet the day, just like every other day.
