Each Day

Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should Psalm 90:12 (Living)

…your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.                                                           Matthew 6:10 (NIV)

As we start a new year, we become aware of the days in that new year- 365 to be exact. We look upon a new year as a fresh start, and it is. It is a good time to make resolutions for change. We also understand that no days are guaranteed to us. In the words of a sports analogy injury update- we are all “day-to-day”.

So, as we begin this new year, we rightfully want to make some little changes to make our life a little better, a little healthier. As we do that, we also need to remember that we are to make each day count toward a mission greater than ourselves. We have been put on earth to make it a little more “heaven-like”. We are to try to bring some eternal Kingdom life into life on Earth.

In order to do that, we need to be aware of what our personal mission is, and to keep in mind that Jesus would have us make life better for those around us. By doing so, we make life better for ourselves.

Prayer: Lord, help us to spend our days wisely in mission, Amen
