ENJOY THE DAY GOD HAS GIVEN YOU

ENJOY THE LIFE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24 You are allowed to enjoy the life God has already given you. Not every morning has to begin with a problem to solve, a burden to surrender, or a lesson to learn. Not every moment must carry some deep meaning or lead to a major decision. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is simply receive the day God has placed before you with gratitude. Enjoy your coffee. Laugh with your wife. Notice the sunrise. Listen to the birds. Appreciate something beautiful without feeling as though you must turn it into an assignment. We can become so focused on where we are going that we forget to appreciate where we are. We pray about what God will do next, while overlooking what He has already done. We wait for the next door to open, the next prayer to be answered, or the next season to begin, while the goodness of God is sitting right in front of us. Psalm 118:24 does not say, “This is the day the Lord hath made, so we must figure everything out.” It says, “We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
