Dear Brethren, each day is a gift from God. It is full of surprises, blessings and new discoveries for us. When we wake up each morning we should take great pleasure in opening up the gift…layer by layer. For our God has given us the day to live and enjoy! “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24 It is so easy to get into a rut. Our jobs, responsibilities, trials and general busyness in our lives distract us from the joy that God wants to reveal to us each day. But, as we slow down and breathe Him in, we can appreciate each blessing we receive. “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” James 1:17. Our God is a gracious and generous God! He takes great pleasure in giving us gifts and we can count on everything that comes from Him to be good. Sometimes as we unwrap each day, we come upon some packaging that may be difficult to open. The tape might be exceptionally sticky, or the lid of the box too tight. But, when we continue to look to Him through all the layers of our day, trust and have faith, the joy found as we open His gift is great! Praising Him for the joy in each day.
