Make Today Count
Ecclesiastes 9:10, Psalms 118:24, Colossians 3:17, 23, Psalms 90:12, I Corinthians 9:24-27, Galatians 6:9, Ephesians 6:10-20
Well, another day. The sun has risen and by God’s design will return to its resting place tonight. As the writer of Ecclesiastes (Solomon) reminds us it is vitally important that one must not be wrapped up in the things of this life for they will soon be gone and one does not know when this will be. Therefore, they should serve the Lord and make each day count in such ways as:
Praising the Lord
Giving thanks to Him
Telling others of His power and love
Being His hand to the needy
Using one’s resources to advance His kingdom
Being careful how we live
Not to center one’s life on gaining the things of this world
It is vitally important that one lives today in obedience to the Lord and in doing His will in all things. It does make a great difference what a person does each day as we are reminded in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
Prayer: God, I give myself to You and yield my all to Your work today.
