Living Through This Day Only

Y

Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

We are unable to understand and prepare for all the complications that life will bring.  Only God knows the future and He will prepare us to cope with those things that He knows will occur.  We can only handle life in small doses – one day at a time, one moment at a time, and leave the rest with God.  

Hear what God says: “When the time came for me to show you favor, I heard you; when the day arrived for me to save you, I helped you.” Listen! This is the hour to receive God's favor; today is the day to be saved!  (2 Corinthians 6:2 GNT)

God's invitation to each of us in this day of recovery is to trust His timing in everything that will happen, pay attention to His word, and do only those things that He says will be good for us.  If we stumble, God promises to be there when we turn to Him and reach out our hand for Him to pull us back up.  


But get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant. You are to tell others what you have seen of me today and what I will show you in the future.  (Acts 26:16 GNT) 
The ongoing challenge for us is to surrender our will to God and humbly acknowledge that we are powerless without Him.  We need to realize, and declare, that only in God’s power and wisdom can we live well today.  It's easy to get a little strength back, learn a few helpful principles, put them into practice for a few weeks, and figure we've got everything under control.  Not true!!  

The secret to success in life is making God's principles the framework for our life and upholding the truth that, without God’s input, we will get lost in our own sinful desires.

If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God.  (Hebrews 3:15 GNT)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, just for today I choose to seek Your will and put it into practice in all I say and do.  Help me to trust You with all my yesterdays and all my tomorrows.  Amen
