SEIZING THE DAY
A couple weeks ago I noticed my vision was a little fuzzy through my glasses. I was straining a bit more to see what I could see clearly just a month ago. I told myself that I would wait until this political stuff was over and then I’d make an appointment to get my eyes checked. This morning, though, I realized, that was stinkin’ thinkin’.
Matthew
6:34 tells us: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.” In other words, seize the day and get done what we can do now,
because we don’t know what challenges could come up tomorrow. I’m not to be ruled by circumstances, but by the word
of God. And in this case, I need to see better NOW. So I went right over to my
eye doctor and made the earliest appointment I could get.
Every day can be a good
day in some way, because Psalm 118: 24 tells us: “This is the day which the
Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
God has so
many blessings for us, He says in Psalm 68:19 that He daily loads
us with benefits: “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the
God of our salvation.”
I was hesitant,
because of circumstances, to go after what I wanted and needed, but I woke up and
went for it today.
The Lord has
blessings and benefits for us every day without a miss. So let’s not let
circumstances talk us out of taking what’s ours.
Love, Carolyn
