Psalm 68:19 NKJV Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah

NLT Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms

(Family Circus ) - Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift from God, that’s why we call it the present.

Eph 4:26 NLT And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry.

Lam 3:22-23 NLT The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.

How often did Jesus say to take up our cross?

Luke 9:23 NIV Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

Faith is not a Sunday morning decision, Following Jesus is a daily decision.

Did you know Jesus literally said, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW

Matthew 6:34 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

3 Things We Should do Every Day According to God’s Word

1) Praise God

Psalm 96:2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

Psalm 63:4-5 NIV I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

What if it’s a really hard day?

1 Thess 5:18 NIV give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 30:5b NLT Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

-We have a tendency to treat each day as ordinary.

You are made in the image of God. You are full of the Holy Spirit. There’s no ordinary days- the moments, the days, the seasons, our lives have significance and purpose.

We don’t treat something sacred as ordinary.

Consecration = Set apart for God’s purposes

Desecration = Disrespecting or dishonoring something sacred and holy.

So each day we praise God.

2) Fill Up on God’s Word

John 6:35a NIV Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry

Matt 4:4 NIV Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Before you read ask God for fresh revelation, God this is my daily bread and I’m hungry.

2 Tim 3:16-17 NIV All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

We can’t rely on yesterday's Bible reading or Sunday’s sermon. We need our daily time in the Word of God.

It may seem like a little thing but it’s not.

God is not great because nothing is too big for him. God is great because nothing is too small. He rejoices in the little things. If you do the little things like they are the big things God will do Big things like they're little things.

3) Lift up one another

Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Husbands and Wives- encourage one another daily.

What is your spouse’s love language? How can you encourage them? Acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, gifts. Be intentional. PRAY together and for each other. Reach over and take their hand and pray. The enemy of your soul wants to bring drift and distance into your relationships. Fight for together.

Parents, encourage your kids daily. Speak words of life. Speak words of affirmation.

Find a life giving verse in your daily Bible reading and send it to your spouse, speak it over your kids. Text it to a friend.

Hey just thinking of you, how’s your week going? Praying for you today.

Encourage one another daily…

Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden in the cool of the evening daily. And then one day when they had made the biggest mistake of their life. They hid in shame, they said we aren’t walking with God today. And God moves in our direction, He comes to find us, and He says where are you?

Do you know the only place you will be at Home, is with your creator. If you feel like you’ve messed up and God is a million miles away I wanna remind you on your worst day he comes looking for you. Because he wants to be with you DAILY.

Remember your creator in the days of your youth. Ecc 12:1a

Heb 3:7-8a NIV So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts

A hard heart hears but moves right along, a soft heart listens and responds.

2 Cor 6:2 NLT For God says,“At just the right time, I heard you.On the day of salvation, I helped you.”[a]Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.
