JUST ANOTHER DAY
Today's reading: Jeremiah 11:18-13:27, Philippians 3, Proverbs 9:1-6

"...I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be." Philippians 3:12 NLT

I don't believe today is 'just another day'.

I've never like that phrase, never liked the connotation and lack of enthusiasm that lends to the opening of the gift of each new day presented to us by God.

Is today a day of doing many of the same things we've done for several days, or years, in a row, quite possibly--but it's never 'just another day'.

Now if we put the spin on it that Paul has, that we are working toward 'that day', that turns the tide, don't you think?

Today you may spend time repenting of the same sins, in order to be made right...that's God's plan.

Today you may spend time repeating some of the same verses, in order to be filled with God's Word...that's God's will.

Today you may spend time doing some of the same Christian disciplines you've been doing for years, in an effort to end the day more like Him...that's God's desire.

So, it's not just another day, it's 'that day', the day when we become more and more like Him, more of what He saved us for, more of who He saved us to be.

Enjoy this day!
