BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TODAY AND INDEED, EVERY DAY!
TEXT: Ps 16:6, 118:24, Prov 23:7
We very often fail to realise that today, and indeed, everyday is given to us by God who means so well unto us. Every given day is not only different from the other, but also differently packaged with 'goodies' by the Almighty, for our enjoyment!
God has created us free moral agents, capable of choices and particularly,with the ability to decide how your day or life would be. God has also given us His Word not only to believe, but also to do; ie, to practise (James 1:22-25).
For instance, when the Bible says: "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalms 118:24), God is letting you know that He has programmed your day as His child with joy and rejoicing. It's then left to you to take a hold of the prophecy, believe and confess it. In yet another place, you are told categorically that the lines are fallen unto you in pleasant places and that you have a goodly heritage (Psalms 16:6) Remember, as you think in your
heart, so you are (Proverbs 23:7); with your heart, you believe unto righteousness and with your mouth, confession is made unto salvation (Roman 10:10); also that you will eat good by the fruit of your mouth (Proverbs13:2, see also 18:21)
According to W R Inge, "No Christian can be a pessimist, for Christianity is a system of radical optimism". How very true is this assertion! SO, BE RADICAL ABOUT YOUR FAITH, because since the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force! (Matthew 11:12)
Be optimistic therefore about today, and indeed, every given day, confess positively, in line with God's word, for the just shall live by faith (Hebrews 10:38)!
Have a blissful day!
PRAYER
Dearest Heavenly Father, thank you for today and for everyday of my life. I believe that you have given me a beautiful and a glorious life which is manifesting today and indeed everyday of my life, in Jesus mighty name.
