Every Day Is A Page In Your Story!

I opened a Dove chocolate, and inside the wrapping was printed, “Do you get lost in the pages of your story? I stopped and pondered that. At times, we may feel a little lost, especially when going through a difficult situation, but God doesn’t want us to live our lives in a state of confusion. John 10:10b tells us that He came to give life and life more abundant..

Many scriptures tell us that God wants us to live with joy, live rejoicing. God even wants us to have joy on our days of feeling lost. “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” James 1:2 NKJV

We have one life here on Earth, and God wants us to make it count. He doesn’t want us wasting our days, for they are numbered.“Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass. Look away from him that he may rest, till like a hired man he finishes his day.” Job 14:5-6 NKJV

In the days of Noah, man lived hundreds of years. And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3 NKJV.

Sometime between then and the writing of Psalm 90:10, the life span changed to seventy or even eighty years. “So teach us to number our days ,that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”Psalm 90:12 NKJV

We get great wisdom from Paul:“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.” Ephesians 5:15-16 NLT

Are our days filled with love or bitterness, joy or negativity, helping or expecting to be helped, reflecting His image or our own?

Starting tonight, why don’t we take a moment to reflect on what we did this day? When we turn the page to tomorrow, our chance for yesterday is gone. At the end of life’s journey, I want my book to read well. How about you?

Prayer: Lord, there is one book I want my name in, and that is the Lamb’s Book of Life; may the pages of my days please you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
