Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him? Matthew Chapter 8 Verse 27
This is our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
When we read our devotional today, Daily in His Presence by David Jeremiah, we see a day in the life of our Saviour. Very busy day indeed.
Sometimes we complain when we are asked to think and chew gum at the same time; and surprisingly enough I have met those who could not do this, myself included on some days.
We all have days like this.
When we start our day on our schedule, we tend to just get busier as the day goes on, because we are always trying to beat the clock and catch up; as perhaps some items are hanging over our head from yesterday’s unfinished list. Oh dear, more to do and less time to do it. Then, somehow we tend to start to worry about tomorrow. God clearly tells us in Scripture, not to borrow tomorrow’s trouble. Matthew 6:34. God wants us to live for today, and complete the tasks of this day. This is why we should start our day with Him, because we know if we do, for starters, we have a helper. Also we know He will bring opportunities to us that without Him we would miss. When we walk and talk with Him, we see past our selfish selves and then we can see the needs of others. When we hear His small still voice telling us what to do, we know He will make it possible to accomplish it. All things are possible in Him, Jesus reminds us in Matthew Chapter 19 verse 26. It reads like this in the Good News Bible:
Jesus looked straight at them and answered, “This is impossible for man, but for God everything is possible.”
As David so nicely reminds us today in our devotional reading, “There’s nothing more exhilarating than giving each day to the Lord and waiting to see what He will do with it.”
Well isn’t this the truth?
I know His plans are better than mine and His timing is perfect. So today, I will rest in knowing new opportunities lie ahead and I’m excited to see what God has in store for this day and in all my days. How about you?
This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is a couple of lines from a song we sing in church. You may want to search it on You Tube and listen to it, it is called, This Is The Day.
This is the Day
Enjoy all the Lord has for you today and everyday. And also rejoice and be glad. You certainly will be blessed.
