“Have you commanded the morning since your days began?” (Job 38:12). In a sense, God is asking Job, “Have you thought about speaking into your morning and bringing order into your day?”
Dost thou love Life, then do not squander Time, for that’s the Stuff Life is made of.1 —Benjamin Franklin
YOUR FUTURE COMES ONE DAY AT A TIME—IT IS GOD’S present to you. Every moment of every day, with every thought you think and word you speak, you are making a decision to move either toward greatness or toward obscurity. If you are to make the most of every opportunity you are given—if you are to become God’s vessel of glory and honor prepared for every good work—you must learn to harness, and then maximize, the potential of your thoughts and words.

You have been given the opportunity to create a masterpiece of your life. While your thoughts are the colors you use to paint the background, your words are the brushes you use to fill in each detail.
One of the wisest things we can do is to live life on purpose. We are told in Scripture to “redeem the time” (Eph. 5:16). We are to be intentional with how we order our days and spend our time. Everyone in the universe has been given the same quantity of time: we all get twenty-four hours per day whether we live in the White House or the ghetto.

We must all learn the art of ordering our day.
Like any professional composer, artist, architect, writer, or programmer, you must schedule time to think things through. Form follows thought, and the shape of your life is a product of that thought. Structure your time so that you can structure your thoughts, for they provide the structure for your life. Know when to take hold of an idea and run with it and when to wait and let it mature until it has ripened. Get God’s timing. Discern God’s order.
Don’t let your day get the best of you by not commanding the best from your day.
ACTIVATION DECLARATIONS I stand to command my morning and declare it is a new day. I take authority over my day in the name of Jesus. Every element of my day shall cooperate with purpose and destiny. Today is the dawning of a new day. My season of frustration and failures is over, and I walk in a season of success and prosperity. Old things have passed away; all things have become new. Today I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Anything or anyone assigned to undermine, frustrate, hinder, or hurt me, I command to be moved out of my sphere of influence in Jesus’s

THE ESSENCE OF A NEW DAY This is the beginning of a new day You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important Because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. In its place is something that you have left behind . . . Let it be something good. —Author Unknown
