Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Make today count and
drink in the JOY that the Lord has prepared specifically for you!
I’ve just
celebrated another birthday! And I did
so with thanksgiving because I’ve come to realize that each day is truly a new
opportunity. What we do with our time is
up to us. We can waste it by doing
meaningless things that don’t count. OR
we can choose to allow God to use us and trust Him to open doors of purpose!
Best
selling author, John Maxwell, wrote a book entitled Make Today Count. The subtitle sums up the book beautifully: The Secret of Your Success is Determined By
Your Daily Agenda. What is your
agenda? Are you floating along each day,
just aiming toward tomorrow? Or are joyfully and purposefully striving to making
a difference today?
To quote
Maxwell: “Time is an equal opportunity
employer, but how we treat time is not equal.
Time is like a block of marble. Give a block of marble to an average
person, and you end up with…a block of marble.
But put it in the hands of a master sculptor, and watch what happens!
The sculptor looks at it with an artist’s eye.
First he makes decisions about what it will be. Then he practices the disciplines of his
craft until he has transformed lifeless stone into a masterpiece. I believe you and I can become like that
sculptor. We can learn to become master
craftsman, not of stone but of our lives.”
Psalm 90:12: “Teach
us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (AND…JOY!)
