You Have Today

I would like to start the Devotions off by posting one of the many writings that I personally enjoy reading. This particular devotion is written by a famous Christian author, Max Lucado. I hope and pray that you delight yourself in these devotions as much as I do (or even more!), and I will soon be posting my own devotions. God Bless!


You Have Today                    By Max Lucado

Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Psalm 90:14

You can’t spend tomorrow’s money, celebrate tomorrow’s achievements—or resolve tomorrow’s riddles.

You have today!

Paul rejoiced in prison.  David wrote Psalms in the wilderness. 

Paul and Silas sang in jail.  And Jesus prayed in the garden of pain.

Suppose—you choose not to work or worry your day away, but decide to give it a fair shake. 

You trust more.  Stress less.

Amplify gratitude.  Mute the grumbling. 

And what do you know?  Before long the day is done and—surprisingly decent. 

It’s what I call a day changer!  So you resolve to do the same the next day and the next. 

Days become weeks.  Weeks become months.  Months become years of good days. 

It’s the way good lives are built.  One good day at a time!

“This is the day the Lord has made!  Rejoice and be glad in it!”

Have a great day—every day!
