April
THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it.
Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am
pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain
about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your
circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank
Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me
to work My ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.
To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I
was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I
understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of
only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the
past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today.
This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
PSALM 118 : 24
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward
the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ
Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14
