Devotionals for Daily Living
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
(Psalms 118:24 (NIV))
Every day is a gift from God. We do not know when the day that we see will be our last. Our society has become so engrossed in planning for tomorrow, that we often overlook today. Today is a certainty. Tomorrow is only a possibility. It is wise to plan for tomorrow, but do not be so wrapped up in tomorrow that you neglect today.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(Matthew 6:34 (NIV))
When Jesus came to earth, He did not spend His whole time with us worrying about the cross that was to come “tomorrow.” He knew that it would come, yet He did not worry about it. He embraced each day on this earth and did the Will of God the Father for the moment that He was in. Should we do any different than Jesus did? Another “tomorrow” that Jesus faced was sitting at the Right Hand of God the Father after His resurrection, yet Jesus did not skip today to get to tomorrow. He rejoiced in what was the moment and kept everything in it’s proper place and time.
Each day is a precious gift from God. Do not waste this gift worrying about what you will do with another gift!
Rejoice in what the Lord has given you today!

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
(Proverbs 29:18 (KJV))
Has God given you a vision?
Life is more than simply working nine to five and then going home. Life is a gift from God. This gift is to be used to reach others for Jesus. It is said that our life is a gift from God. What we do with it is our gift to God.
With this in mind, God has a purpose for each and every single person that has ever lived or will ever live. He has placed a glimpse of this purpose in us as our unique vision. If we acknowledge that vision and seek to fulfill it, then we are pursuing what God has planned for us.
We must remember, though, that God does not want us to seek His vision and forsake His commands. We must seek God each and every step of the way on the journey of our fulfilling our vision. We must not try to achieve His purpose in our own way.
Has God given you a vision?
How are you at fulfilling that vision?
