Our days are gifts from God and are ours to spend in holy obedience and loving service for Him!
So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
⏤ Psalm 90:12
As we grow in grace, we more earnestly desire to live for the glory of our Lord.
⏤ Charles Spurgeon
Our days are gifts from God and are ours to spend in holy obedience and loving service for Him! We are called to follow Jesus and be like Him! To reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Not live selfish lives for things of this world, living for Heaven making getting into life eternal in Heaven with Jesus our number one priority. How are you living your life today?
We thank You, Father, for another day. Each day You give us is a gift, meant to be used for You. They are not ours to waste in idleness, nor to fill with selfishness, or stain with sin. They are ours to spend in holy obedience and loving service. Each day comes to us like a blank page on which to write words of beauty that others may read, and that will be read at last when the books are opened in the final judgment. They come like ships for us to fill with good things, to be sent away to bless others. Now we bring another day to You. If we have written anything on the page that is not uplifting and beautiful, may You blot it out. If there are stains, may You remove them. If this day contains any messages for the judgment day that would bring us shame, may You erase them. If we have filled this day with selfishness instead of deeds of love, we ask for Your forgiveness. We cannot have the day back to correct it, so we ask You to turn its evil into good, just as You turned the sin of Joseph’s brothers into something good in the end. As we turn from this day, never to see it again until the judgment, we entrust it to You. You are merciful and gracious. Bless our home tonight. You who do not slumber, keep us in Your holy care and let no harm come near us. Bless us as a family and grant us Your peace. Prepare us for tomorrow, and when the new day comes, grant us Your presence and grace for all it holds. We ask this in the name of our Savior and Redeemer. Amen."

May we live in grace, following Jesus, counting our blessings, praying for all, being positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! May we seek a holy life without sinning, making excuses, being selfish, and doing what God wants of us in service to Him! God can turn all evil into good, when we follow Jesus, living like Him, imitating, and loving like Him! We need to work toward breakthrough! That should be our goal! Never forgetting that God is merciful and gracious living for the glory of the Lord!
