ANOTHER DAY
Today's reading: Judges 12-16

I was in a bit of a fender-bender Friday morning. The gal that hit me and myself are just fine--our cars, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a visit to the body shop.

What happened occurred in a split second. The officer on the scene was very kind and all insurance names and numbers were exchanged. And the rental car they've put me in is my husband's dream come true!

What has shaken me to the core is the fact that a town or two over from ours, a gal my age was in the same kind of accident...and she was killed.

A young Mom. A wife. A beloved daughter. A creation of God's.

Could've been me.

"Then Samson prayed to the Lord, Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me one more time so that I may..." Judges 16:28 NLT

God has given me the opportunity of another day to serve Him, to experience His blessings, to dwell on His goodness. Not everyone who lived and breathed yesterday has been given this privilege. One more. One more.

Lord, help me to live this one more day for your glory. Strengthen me to accomplish what You need me to do. Show me the value of your blessing of today. Amen.
