A Little Polar Pop and Jesus…
I sometimes feel like I’m not a “real adult” because I don’t drink coffee. Though I love the aroma of freshly brewed java, I much prefer to start my day with a half Diet Pepsi/half Cherry Pepsi combo. If I’m traveling and not near a Circle-K to get that all-important first-thing-in-the-morning Polar Pop, I can get a little testy. I always tease, “You won’t like me before I’ve had caffeine.” My closest friends buy me Polar Pop gift cards for special occasions, and I always wake up to a Polar Pop and roses on my birthday. Yes, my friends and family know that my daily routine begins with a Polar Pop and Jesus.
After a few sips of my “mixed drink” and a few verses from the Bible, I am a new woman. The Polar Pop energizes my flesh while the Word of God energizes my spirit. No matter how drained I might feel as I slide into my leopard-print slippers and head for my favorite “morning quiet time” place (my comfy chair in the sunroom), I know that after spending a few minutes with God, I’ll be renewed and refreshed from the inside out. It’s like an instant Master Makeover.

You know, the Bible tells us that when Moses spent time with God, he would have to wear a veil over his face because he glowed too brightly for the Israelites to behold him. If we spend time with God—reading the Word, praying, and praising Him in the morning—we will begin to glow, too, from the inside out. And, that radiance will shine brightly through us and onto every person we encounter. Maybe that’s why the Bible speaks about seeking Him in the morning. Psalm 5:3 says, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”
There’s no better way to start your day. Whether your drink of choice is a cup of java or a 32-ounce Polar Pop, make sure you drink in the Word of God and get your glow on. Your day awaits…
