Welcome to Day 17 of the 40Days of Return. Today is the day that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Many times, you make plans ahead as though you hold the times in your hand, but no God dictates the time and season. He decides who lives or dies. You are alive today because He ordained it to be so, thank God for the breathe of life that is in you. Halleluyah!!!
Your Life Belongs to God
Wake up from sleep and approach your day with the awareness that today is the day of the Lord, and you have joy and gladness awaiting you. Forget about yesterday and focus on today, you will end up where you focus. You must recognize that everyday of your life is really not yours to do whatsoever you want, but it belongs to the Lord. Today is God’s idea and everything in it is for your good. You need to consciously walk in the understanding that you owe your day to the Creator of your life. The truth is that you will give account to the Lord on how you spent your days, be wise.
How you Prepare for your Day
Honoring the Lord today begins with listening to the voice of the Shepherd for daily guidance during your time alone with the Lord. Let Him dictate your schedule and reveal what to expect today, this will help you prepare. This is where you fill your heart with the joy and gladness of the LORD. Your preparation determines your experience. Sometimes He says soak in my love, God, being fully aware of the circumstances that awaits you in the day, gives you instructions that puts you ahead. A few hours down in the day someone gets cross with you but then, you respond in love and win.
Do Whatever He Tells you
Surrender yourself to do what the Lord tells you to do and stop chasing after all the wealth of the world. Don’t tear yourself apart by bearing unnecessary burdens that the Lord has not put on you. Free yourself to do what matters the most in the heart of God for you today. Ask questions like, how do I partner with You today to see Your kingdom come? The Lord is more willing to answer your questions that your desire to ask.
Be Ready
Sometimes the devil comes with the world news to terrify you and get you out of faith, but be ready to tell him that today is the day that the Lord has made for you to rejoice and be glad. It is not that you are not concerned about the tragedy that is befalling our world, but you want to keep your heart on the promises of God. Keep the good news and spread it everywhere you go.
