TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it"
Psalm 118:24
TODAY'S WORD:
Many people are waiting for their circumstances to change in order to be happy and enjoy their lives. Just yesterday I talked with a co worker who shared how he was trying to do better and be better for God and how one day I'm going to make it. I told him "my friend, you and I will never be good enough and if we wait to be happy we will never get there." All the time I hear things like, "As soon as I get out of this problem, Patrick, I'll be happy." "As soon as I lose ten pounds...as soon as my business grows...as soon as my child straightens up..." No, if you don't put your foot down and decide to be happy right now, there will always be something to keep you from being happy.
Selah people' and friends God never intended for us to put off our happiness. We have a choice to make each and every day. We have to set our minds in the right direction. That's why David said, "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it."
He was saying, "This is the day to be happy; not tomorrow, not when the weather clears up. Not next week, when I don't have to work so hard. Not next month, when I make it through this difficult time." No, choose to honor the Lord right now by choosing to enjoy your life. Get rid of the excuses and rejoice because this is the day that the Lord has made!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for this day. Thank You for another opportunity to sing Your praise. I choose to set my mind and heart on You. I choose to rejoice and be glad so that everything I do brings honor to You. In Jesus' name, amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
