Hi Gals,
Summer … it’s hot, humid, and I become a bit lazy! But, I don’t want to miss out on the days of
summer – I don’t want to be so lazy and hazy that I become dull and
stagnant. Just like plants, I think I
really need a lot of spiritual “watering” during the summer.
As I think about this I am brought face to face with God’s
Word:
Each day is a celebration of our salvation in Jesus. It is
important that in each day and every experience of our lives that we see Jesus
in them. Jesus has given us an incomparable gift – not one we deserve but one
that is ours – freely given. We are daughters of God – co-heirs with Christ. We
are so blessed! That is our cause for
rejoicing and being glad….daily.
So, I say rejoice in every day. It is a gift from God. But it is so easy to
slip into a lackadaisical attitude about our wonderful relationship with Jesus.
The next time you hear someone say, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us
rejoice and be glad in it,” think about what that really means. God’s only son
who was God made flesh died for you so that you could enter into His presence
and live there forever! The day that He did that for the whole world is worthy
of our praise EVERY DAY indeed!!!In my Bible notes I have jotted down the following daily steps to go along with Psalm 118:24. I don’t know where they came from; they are not original with me, but I want to share them with you.
Everyday is a celebration of life. Begin every day with this affirmation of faith: "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Ps 118:24).
