This is the day the Lord has made,we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 (KJV)When I wake up in the morning I make lots of choices. Everyday I choose what I am going to wear, what I’ll have for breakfast; IF I will have breakfast, or if I will stop at my favorite coffee shop for a cup of coffee or tea to start my day.
I have made it a habit to wake up and say “Good morning, God, thank you for this day." I try to start my day by choosing the attitude I am going to wear throughout my day.
I'm not perfect and I don't live in a perfect world. Sometimes circumstances in life get in the way of how I want to approach my day.Through the years I have learned that I need to look for the good things in my life. Even in rough circumstances I can find good things happening in my life to focus on and help me through! As I do this I am reminded that God has always helped me through and I can trust He will again and again.
With God’s help and the right attitude, we can awaken refreshed and our lives can be renewed each morning.
Let’s try this, when we wake up in the morning let’s think on Psalm 118:24 – This is the day the Lord has made, [I] will rejoice and be glad in it. We can choose our attitude and refuse to let anything or anyone take away the joy the Lord wants to give us for the day.
Today's Prayer Suggestion: Thank God for each day He gives you. Thank Him for the joyful blessings He gives you each day. Ask Him to help you live an attitude of gratefulness and love each day, regardless of your circumstances, so others may see the joy you have in Him.
