It's the first day, and I think: "why are we doing this?" But this is the point right! To help us remember that we are "ash" and to "ash" we are going to return. Then all of a sudden I remember that I do not just need coffee - my laying down - I need God's word written on my heart!
"Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care" Psalm 95:6-7
I'm like this poor dumb lamb! I can't seem to realize my propensity to rely on my own strength to get through life. My prayer today is that I would bow down to him - in a real physical and spiritual sense - and worship the only one who is worthy.
