‘This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.’ PS 118:24
As I pull back the curtains, the sky is still dark. I can’t even see the view outside. Gradually the sky will lighten and I will be able to pick out the at present unseen items in my garden. God has been gracious enough to give me another day. I have various things planned to do but I don’t know exactly what will happen. Good or bad, the events of the day are only known to God.
I need God’s mighty right hand to hold me. Peter didn’t know the day he was going to walk on water. It wasn’t in his plans and when he took his eyes off Jesus he began to sink. When Gideon was on his threshing floor expecting an ordinary day, he didn’t know God was going to have an encounter with him and call him to service. David wasn’t to know that an interview with the prophet Samuel would lead to him being anointed king.
If it isn’t raining, we can watch the sun rise higher in the sky and we will be living the day that God has given us . Only He know the outcome. Working with him can be a day of fulfilment or going it alone it can be a day of no worth.
