TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
" Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12, NIV).
TODAY'S WORD , let me be the first to wish you a happy new year! I wanted to end our year of devotionals with this thought. 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 go into 2012 without understanding that each day really is a gift. 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! Rita and I sure love you and appreciate that you take time each day to spend a few moments with us in these devotional thoughts. Happy New Year! A PRAYER FOR YOU 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. |
