Another Day Begins

June 2

"So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12

Another day begins. The challenges before you can be daunting. Life and its responsibilities can be formidable and your ability to achieve them can press you to the utmost of your mental and physical and spiritual acuity.

Sometimes life simply tasks you with too much on your to-do list. I pray that in spite of the busy-ness that awaits you when you awaken each morning, you will have enjoyment in every moment of time with which the Lord blesses you with life, and I pray the “unspeakable gift” II Corinthians 9:15 will so immerse the entirety of your life in His “peace that passes understanding,” Philippians 4:7, that nothing of time or of eternity can intimidate you or deter you from the accomplishments He has set before you to achieve.

I pray your life will be long and healthy and happy and that it will be shared abundantly with those you love and who love you. I pray every moment of your life will be rooted and grounded in faith in the Christ who loves you best of all; and I pray that His joy in you will be a source of strength so mighty (Nehemiah 8:10) that NOTHING can depress you or defeat you because the power within you conquers every problem about which you pray! (See Mark 11:24, 25.)

The Lord Jesus Christ has promised that "HE will NEVER leave or forsake you," Hebrews 13:5) so rest on His abiding presence with you and upon the assurance that you may, "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you," I Peter 5:7. This, plus the assurance He's given that you can, "do all things through Christ who strengthens you," Philippians 4:13 reduces every challenge you will ever face to a potential for amazing achievement because the Lord makes a difference for good in every day that you turn over to Him.
