TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
(Psalm 90:12, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Sometimes our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It’s easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to lose focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.
I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.” He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we’ve been given.” As you daily keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart of wisdom. You’ll draw closer to God and experience the full blessing that He has for you each and every day!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of today. I choose to focus on the blessing of each moment instead of allowing the little things to steal my joy. Keep me close to You always as I submit every area of my heart and mind to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
Well said. Life is short. We should always look at the glass as half full !
” If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.” indeed if only we can choose to focus on of postive things of life then our souls will always be at peace.Unfortunately a lot of us are busy concetrating on negative things that we cant change. God bless all.
Amen what a wonderful sharing it has brought me back to focus GBY:d
amen and amen
Life is indeed short and unpredictable, you have it today, tomorow you are gone. Thank Lord Jehova for the Life today. Amen
Indeed life is short.
Our prayer should be that God be with us all and keep us always during this short and miserable life
Amen!
It’s very easy to forget how fragile our life is especially when we invest too much time in work and other earthly projects. Thank God for the festive season which begins in a few weeks – it allows us exhale and regain focus as we spend quality time with family and friends.
God bless Joel & Victoria in their ministry, the LT staff and all you bloggers out there.
