| THE WORD |
|
Have you stopped to consider that today is a special
gift from God? Sometimes, our days can be so full and busy that we
forget how fragile life really is. It can be easy to allow little things
to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our
way, or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to
lose focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If
we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the blessing that each
day has to offer.
I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments
of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show
people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable.
You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can
be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to
number our days.” He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we’ve
been given.” As you daily keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart
of wisdom. You’ll draw closer to God and experience the full blessing
that He has for you each and every day!
