TODAY IS A GIFT

Psalm 118:24 NLV This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us be full of joy and be glad in it.

It’s good when we stop and realise that today is a gift from God. There will never be another one like it, and when we’ve used this one up, we’ll never see it again. We have a choice to make, will we live it grumpy and dissatisfied, or will we live it in faith, live it in victory with a grateful and thankful heart?😊

God knows if there’s anything weighing us down, because He knows us inside out. He knows how many hairs are on our heads, and He says to offer up those heavy things that drag us down, let Him lift them off so we can start the new day, the new week with a lightness in our spirits, with joy in our hearts.

Sometimes we used to sing, ‘As the praises go up, so the blessings come down’. Well I believe as we also release those cares, those worries to the Lord, so the blessings, new insights, new favour will come down to help us be the overcomers Jesus has said we can be, so we can rejoice in our day.

Psalm 55:22 NIV Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Now is a perfect time to release those things, to cast our burdens on the Lord because the Psalmist reminds us if we’ll do that, God will sustain us. 

Could you do with some sustaining today? Then bring all those problems that are weighing you down, all the upsets or disappointments, the discouragements, and let the Lord show you His love as He takes them off you.

As we go into the new week, remember today is a gift, and the choice is ours. Instead of hanging on to all the things that steal our joy, let’s choose to let God sort them out and we will go out in victory, in faith in a mighty God, with a smile on our faces and hope in a good God for a blessed week ahead. In Jesus name.Amen.😊
