One of the most iconic parts of any Sonic game is when Sonic speeds through those giant loops that populate his game levels, defying gravity with each step he takes. But as fast as he is, Sonic can’t simply begin running at the start of the loop and expect to have the speed he needs to complete the entire circle… he has to hit the loop with a running start, building momentum so he has enough velocity to carry him through the parts that flip his world upside down. Even the world’s fastest hedgehog needs a little bit of a rolling start before he can do what he does best.

There will always be portions of our day that feel a lot like one of those infamous Sonic loops, and if we don’t hit the ground with momentum at the beginning of our day we will struggle when the going gets tough. How we choose to start today’s race determines the velocity we will have when we face these obstacles, so before we start scanning the news, checking emails, or scrolling through our social media channels let’s give the Lord an opportunity to speak peace, love, and life into our hearts FIRST by connecting with Him in prayer and Scriptural reading. Today WILL have some challenges that will attempt to flip our world upside down… but if we lace up our boots in preparation before the battle starts we can have confidence He will direct all our steps.

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up. Psalm 5:3

Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:14-15

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
