I'm coming to you now from the basin. This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded

just for you to break it down a little more. Take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy

this overflow message. Let me know. Let's go.

I think how you enter something is really important. And for me, I have to build in certain

things to enter my day, to enter my week, to enter my role, to enter conversations, even

to enter something like a workout or to enter an appointment. There are certain things

that when I do those things as an entrance ritual to remind me that this is a gift and

that God has given me what I need, it goes better. You know, not only how you walk in a

room. I'm not saying you shouldn't have theme music playing behind you when you go to

work Monday, but I am saying maybe we could be more intentional about how we make our

entrance because the children of Israel are entering the land and God says, hey, I want

to give you a ritual and offering a ceremony that you can keep to remember that this is

a gift that I'm giving you that you can remember what the Lord did for you. And I think

a lot of times when we start our day, if we could have a few rituals like prayers of Thanksgiving

or just listing our gratitude or sometimes sitting in God's word for a few minutes before

we go into the day, that's what I mean by entrance ritual. Like this is a new day. I'm

not saying you wake up and don't even need a snooze button because the favor of the Lord

awakens you with the rush of angels wings and you feel so blessed and highly favored

that your bounce out of bed. I just mean making a decision to enter the day. This is the

day the Lord has made our rejoice and be glad in it. And even if it takes you a cup of coffee

to get there or if you shower first or whatever you do, that you kind of intentionally enter

your day. Most people, I'm afraid don't. And I've been there and I still can get there
