Even on a cloudy day, the sun will shine through.
So don’t worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
Nothing worse than rain in the month of June
Or saying something when you’re not supposed to
Getting caught doing something you shouldn’t have
Gave in when you should’ve resisted
It’s one of those days
Those days where you messed up
Too bad the clock can’t tick backwards
Yesterday ran off when you slept
And the hourglass sand won’t be moving upwards
You think why can’t this day be over
and you seep into sighs, groans and impatience
You do not have tomorrow either.
The clock won’t be ticking faster
And there’s no remote for reality where you can fast forward
Face it, you only have today. Right now.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Don’t live in yesterday’s mistakes nor should you be anxious about the future.
Remember that yesterday you were forgiven
Tomorrow you will be surrendered
And today, you are clarified.
He promised us that TODAY we will join him in Paradise.
Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16
No matter how bad your day is
Jesus makes something good out of it
If you’re feeling guilty about something you did wrong in the past
You shouldn’t be
God didn’t die on the cross for nothing
Grace is like doing a big favour for something
And expecting nothing in return
God has done us the biggest favor of all
He died for us, which pardoned us from the death sentence we deserve from our sins
We don’t need to work to get grace
For it is by GRACE, you have been saved.
In the midst of your shame-filled days
God opens the door to walk into paradise
Treating our bad days with Grace.
Every moment, saturate your day in his Grace.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:29
God is shaping us
molding us
into the image of Christ.
Jesus felt no guilt,
had no bad habits,
has courage to face anything,
knows the difference between right and wrong
we should do the same.
It’s his only desire; that we be like him.
Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground…Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. Colossians 3:2
Where does your mind wander off to when you’re having a bad day?
Do thoughts arouse in your mind...negative ones?
Wanna take a break from them?
Follow Paul’s resolution; Don’t look at the troubles we can see now,
Rather, we should fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.
Christ is our solution. God be the solution.
He can turn our toughest days into something greater.
When life’s problems disrupts you, take advice from Peter;
Cast all your anxieties onto Jesus, because he cares.
All you have to do is Confide your days to his Oversight.
Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23
We must set our minds on above, and not on eathly things
Because this direct us in the path God wants us to be in
What we need is a death reminder
As frightening as it is, if today was your last day
What would you be doing?
The same thing you’re doing now?
You should, love more, forgive more.
Love like there’s no tomorrow
See things from his perspective;
Eternal perspective.
Accept and gain his Direction
Forget yourself, and be his follower
The word ‘DAY’ isn’t commonly used in the bible, but when it appears, it provides a formula
G- Infuse your day in God’s Grace
Grace erases GUILT
O- Entrust your day to his Oversight
Oversight removes fear
D- Accept his Direction
Direction dismisses Confusion
So today is all you have. Don’t stress about the future. Don’t sigh about the past. Give today a chance; G.O.D.
