Psalm 90:14 Oh, satisfy us
early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
Have you ever had one of those days where you just know it’s
going to be trying and you dread getting ready to face the world? I’m sure we
all have. It is difficult to get excited about facing the dragons we
anticipate. It is in times like this we need to remind ourselves, and one
another, that God’s mercies are new and fresh every morning.
What if we made a decision to set aside our dread and intimidation
of upcoming unpleasantness and difficulties and lean on the strength of God’s
fresh mercy and favor? We can’t control much of what comes our way regardless;
why not decide upfront that we will determine to be positive and trusting instead.
What have we got to lose? Nothing but anxiety, grumbling, and bad attitudes. You
will certainly have more energy to cope with issues when you do not drain it
away with negative thoughts. You might find at the end of the day it wasn’t
nearly as bad as you anticipated. Looking back at all God has brought us
through revives us and our faith. The next morning, make that decision again.
Day after day of trusting God’s mercies for your life builds a strong
foundation on which to stand when the real tragedies hit.
This is the day the Lord has made! Rejoice and be glad in it! Have a great day—every day!
