EVERYDAY IS A GIFT
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Sometimes our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It’s 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.
Listen, if you choose to focus on what’s wrong, you’ll miss the beauty 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 is 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 God has for you each and every day!
Confession
Today is a unique day. It is an irreplaceable gift from the Lord and I rejoice in it. I take hold of all the beautiful things this day has to offer. I declare that in this day, I will be above only, I will excel and I will accomplish lots of things. I will achieve results this day because I am an asset!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I 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 submit every area of my heart and mind to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
