Today ... is yours!
Assuring words that give encouraging confidence are valued. Moses blessed the tribe of Asher saying, “…your strength will equal your days” Deuteronomy 33:25 [NIV]. No matter how difficult or delightful the day may be, abundant stamina provides advantageous potential.
Winners don't quit, quitters don't win.
Consistent care and compassion demonstrate God's desire regarding us. He does not give up. Wherever life's path leads, inexhaustible capacity to prevail is accessible. Assuring confidence to continue on and … on and … on comes from realizing that our caring Creator is with us.
David exclaimed, “I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there too — your reassuring presence, coming and going. — Is there any place I can go to avoid your spirit? To be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky you are there! If I go underground you are there.” Psalm 139:4-8 [MSG].
This divine, prevailing presence is intended to assure and secure. You may live many days, none of them will be the same. God's capacity to provide will not be exhausted.
We are the recipients of divinely supreme, mindful intent — to let us know we are loved. No day you live is unimportant. God considered it and gave it to you. What God gives and provides for is significant.
Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is in our hand! God gave you this day — and sufficient strength for this day.
The Rev. Paul Killingsworth serves as pastor at Yuma First Assembly.
