TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Teach us to number our days, that we
may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12, NIV.
Psalm 90:12, NIV.
TODAY'S 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!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for
the gift of today. I choose to focus on the blessing of each moment instead of
allowing the little things to steal my joy. Keep me close to You always as I
surrender every area of my heart and mind to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
