Today is the day the Lord has made...What will YOU do?

So here you are...God has blessed you with another day. What are you going to do with it?

Are you going to run around like crazy trying to get too many things done in too short of time?

Are you going to just go through the motions and walk through today without really embracing anything or having any enthusiasm for what you are doing?

Are you going to grumble through it and drag your feet through each step of today wishing it were over with before it ever truly gets started?

What ever approach to your day today, I encourage you to ponder a few things:

God has blessed you with today. 
Yesterday is gone and finished- you can't do anything to change or improve on yesterday.
Tomorrow is not promised. May people went to sleep last night expecting their tomorrow to come and it didn't.

All we really have is today...this moment...this second. What are you going to do with it? The choice is ours, but God lets us know how He thinks we should embrace our day...this day that is a gift.

There are many scriptures in the bible that talk about the day or today. Look and ponder what the below scriptures mean to you today and see if they might help you embrace today and all of the beauty, wonder, and opportunity that comes with it!

Exodus 14:13
Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.

2 Samuel 18:31
Then the Cushite arrived and said, “My lord the king, hear the good news! The LORD has vindicated you today by delivering you from the hand of all who rose up against you.”

Psalm 18:18
They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

Psalm 23:6
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 25:5
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

How will you embrace your day???
