A Day Of Reflection
1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the Lord , and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
Today being Friday is a day a lot of people look forward to. Today means the weekend is almost here! Think about how much of your time you spend looking forward. We look forward to the weekend, look forward to the holidays, look forward to the start of our favorite shows or sports seasons. We save money for something we want to buy in the future, save money to take a vacation in the future. We spend so much time looking ahead.
Today I challenge you to look back just a bit. Take time to “consider how great things he hath done for you.” Not just taking a small moment to be thankful for your blessings. Truly spend the day reflecting on great things God has done in your life. For me personally, I have to start with salvation! How great a salvation it is when I think of how long-suffering God was and is with me. When I think of how I fail Him daily yet He still loves me enough to give His life for me! I can look at other things in my life that HE has allowed me to overcome. Things that have shown His greatness!
Obviously this is something personal that each of us can look at, and have different things we consider great in our life. However, if we’d all spend a day to look back on the great things God has done for us, it would help us move forward with an attitude of gratitude and we’d show up on the next Lord’s day ready to worship!
God bless you today!!
