It's time to start the morning.

Glad you're with me today on the live build change morning mindset.

I'm Carrie Green and I'm all about living my faith, building a business, and changing my world as a result.

And that's what this morning mindset is aimed toward, not necessarily all of those things, but especially the first of those to help you live your faith to do it authentically

and we do that primarily by looking at the scriptures and intentionally setting our mindset to be in alignment with what we find in the scriptures.

And so today I wanted to look at Psalm chapter 63.

This is one of my favorite Psalms that I have read and the first verses especially is what I want to focus in on

verse number one for today says oh god so this is a prayer to, oh God, you are my God.

Earnestly, I seek you.

My soul thirsts for you.

My flesh faints for you as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Now there's plenty there for us to talk about today and I want to focus in just on that first

phrase, oh God you are my God that's a declaration it

sounds like David is making. We believe David was the author of this

Psalm. And so he's declaring, oh God, you are my God, it's a commitment that he's making not for God's sake.

I mean think about it.

God knows what's in David's heart. God knows that David is committed to him, but David is speaking to himself even though he's speaking to God. He's making a declaration to encourage himself in what he believes, to affirm it to himself.

And man, there is such a lesson there for us,

because we often, though it's in our heart,

lose track of where our real focus lies at times. We get distracted by the things that happen in our day. We get

pulled away by pressures or stresses things that are piled on to our desk or put onto our plate so to speak and we lose focus

that beneath everything is a foundation of commitment to the God of the universe and when I say that I wonder if you understand what I mean
