One Day at a Time
Enjoying God's blessings one day at a time can bring so much peace to our lives. Here is another Bible verse that I love that reminds us to not to worry so much and to live life with a focus on one day at a time.
Matthew 6: 25-29 (NIV)
"Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
This reminds us to rest in God's peace every day. If we try to pack a week's worth of accomplishments into one day, we'll miss the blessing God had in store for us that day. Let's live one day at a time taking care of our health through exercise and taking the time to prepare good, healthy food. Also, as we pursue our goals for the future, let's remember all that we have to be thankful for right now, today.
