Today is my CEO day.
The first Monday of every month, I set it aside to be with God.
No agenda.
No rushing.
Just time with Him.
This was the first thing I read this morning.
“Get wisdom… get understanding…
though it cost all you have, get understanding.”
It felt like instructions for the day.
Not business strategy.
Not planning.
Not problem solving.
Seek the Father.
Listen.
Do what He says.
And if I’m honest…
that’s not always where my mind goes first.
Even on a day like today, it took me a little while to settle in.
To quiet the noise.
To stop thinking about everything else.
But once I did…
this became clear.
What I need most today isn’t more effort.
It’s wisdom.
Not worldly wisdom.
Not what everyone else is saying.
Wisdom that comes from Him.
Understanding that comes from knowing Him.
And that only comes from time with Him.
In His Word.
Listening.
Being still long enough to actually hear.
We spend so much of our time trying to figure things out.
When maybe the better question is…
Have I gone to Him first?
So today, I’m slowing down.
Leaning in.
Asking Him for wisdom.
Trusting that He’ll give it.
How are you starting your day?
How are you starting your month?
For me this is where it begins.
