Every day should be a good day and you should live it like it's your last.
Some people live a life of anger, frustration, pain, jealousy, and/or
dishonesty, but all of these things will come to pass when your time here
is over. Just take a moment to think.
We will not be on this earth forever.
One day, we will not have to worry about going to work or how we will make
payment to our loan.
We will not have to worry where our next meal will come from, or how we can
buy a house or a car.
At anytime, God could take us off of this earth, so you should appreciate
today and not worry about tomorrow, for nobody knows what tomorrow will
bring. When you wake up each morning, thank the Lord for waking you up.
When you lie down to sleep at night, thank the Lord for another day.
If you have a job, thank the Lord for your place of employment. Ask that he
may bless you in everything that you do.. Ask him to give you the
knowledge and the wisdom to do your job. If you don't have a job, thank
him anyway. Ask him to direct you to the job that is right for you. When
you are eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, say a prayer. Thank the Lord for
providing food and nourishment to your body.If you are healthy,
thank the Lord for the health and strength in your body. If you aren't,
thank him anyway for life, and ask him to heal your body. So the next
time that you get mad, think twice.
The next time you complain about something at your job, think twice. The
next time you say you wish you had steak instead of chicken, think twice.
Be thankful for what you have, and the life that God has given you.
Pray and ask the Lord for guidance. Be sincere, as God knows whether or not
we mean it from the heart.
Help those in need as a gift from your heart, and not so you can get a pat
on the back.
Put forth the extra effort in everything that you do. Go after what you
want in life, and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. No matter how
perfect you think you are, there is always room for improvement, and an
opportunity for you to do better.
If you are depressed, don't cry; just hold your head up and the Lord will
help you through. Pray and ask the Lord to deliver you from your state of
depression. Whatever it is that you are depressed about, God will take that
pain from you heart. It may not be at that moment, or that next hour, or
maybe not even the next day, but he WILL do it if you just believe in him.
God may not show up when YOU want him to, but he's ALWAYS right on time.
God will not give us more than we can bear.
Sometimes he will present us with issues that will test our faith,
but you have to be strong enough to believe that God will do exactly what
he says. The message for today is to praise the Lord, have faith in the
Lord, give thanks to the Lord, and live every day like it is your last.
Theoretically speaking, if the Lord never does anything else for us, other
than wake us up each day, put food in our mouths and clothes on our backs,
we should thank him anyway. He died so that we could have life on this
earth.
As the Bible says in Psalms
118:24 -- This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be
glad in it!
118:1 and 29 -- Oh give thanks to the Lord for he is good; For his love
endures forever.
