A NEW DAY

This is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it.

I've been reminded in various ways to live today not tomorrow. Not that I don't already know that. Scripture says, "do not worry about tomorrow..." It rained last night and I look out in my back yard and notice how incredibly green everything is. God is so cool how he chose green for the trees and the grass. Such a cool, calming color. The birds are singing and the flowers just outside the windows grew to about a foot above the window before they bloomed. Just look around you, listen, and you can understand when scripture talks about everything praising God, from the mountains to the snow to the trees and the animals. Now if the creation we look around and see sings praise to him shouldn't I/we not do the same? We are his greated and loved creation. We were created to love him, to praise him and to live our lives for him. Not for ourselves in seeking to make things in our life work out for our best, but to seek in our life how we can honor our heavenly Father.

Make me an instrument of praise to you Lord. May our life and anything that we face bring praise and honor to you. May our testimony be a testimony of you and bring you glory.

Psalm 98:7-8 "Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord."
