Make the Most of your Day

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24



God determines the number of your days, but you determine how they are spent.  The Psalmist said,“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is all you’ve got… and you can begin your life over today, if you live by these words:

Today I will delete from my diary two days—yesterday and tomorrow.  Yesterday was for learning; tomorrow will be a consequence of what I do today. Today I will face life with the conviction that this day will never return, that it may be the last opportunity I’ll have to contribute because there’s no guarantee
I’ll see tomorrow.

Today I will be courageous enough not to let opportunity pass me by; my only direction will be to honor God. Today I will invest my most valuable resource, my time, into my most important possession, the life God has given me.  I’ll invest each minute purposefully, making today a unique opportunity.  I’ll tackle each obstacle knowing that with God’s help I can overcome it.

Today I will resist doubt and pessimism and warm my world with love and a smile.  I’ll strive to express a strong faith in my Savior Jesus, take time to be happy,  see every task as an opportunity to honor the Lord, and endeavor to leave His footprints on the hearts of those I meet.

John Boykin wrote, “Time is your life—nothing more, nothing less. The way you invest your hours and your days, is the way you
Invest your life.”  
So my encouragement to you today is this…Ask the Lord to help you to make the most of your day, to
MAXIMIZE this day.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of life, of time and opportunity.  Help me make the most of today in loving you and others, to your glory and In Jesus’ Name, Amen
