ONE DAY AT A TIME

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it. – Unknown

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Charles Dickens

You woke up today to a day loaded with possibilities.

GOD has flooded it with compassion and opportunity!

Lamentations 3:22-23 (V)

…enduring is God’s loyal love; inexhaustible compassion.

Here they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.

What happened yesterday is a distant vapor. 

Your “PRESENT” has the chance to be totally influenced, steered, impacted, and blessed by HIS PRESENCE.

It is not too late.

Nope.

I don’t care if you spilled the coffee all over the keyboard this morning. I don’t care if the boss started right in on you about an end of year project that was just added to the slate.  I don’t care if traffic was snarled or your spouse spent the morning snarling, GOD wants HIS best for THIS day for you.

EMBRACE it.  Chase it.

Activate HIM in it!

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue…He is able to do what you can’t. He already has a plan. God’s not bewildered. Go to Him. – Max Lucado

As we approach the end of the year and the dawn of a new one, the hope of a fresh start looms.  We love the turn of the calendar and the clean sheet of paper that comes with it.

So, reflect on where you want to improve.

Learn from the past but don’t be hindered by it.

GO TO GOD and do a little soul searching.

Then commit to making the MOST of THIS DAY!

Then remember that old lyric, that old familiar refrain…

One day at a time sweet Jesus

That's all I'm asking from you.

Just give me the strength

To do everyday what I have to do.

Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus

And tomorrow may never be mine.

Lord help me today, show me the way

One day at a time.

For:

The secret of your success is DETERMINED by your daily agenda. - John C. Maxwell

So, have a great TODAY!

I love you all…
