TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day”
(Proverbs 4:18, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Sometimes it’s easy to become so goal-oriented and so focused on our dreams that we overlook the simple things that we should be enjoying in our everyday life. But we have to remember that life is not really about the destination, it’s about how we live all along the way. It’s about the path we’re on that shines brighter and brighter.
In this life, there is no such thing as a finish line. Once you accomplish one dream, God will give you another. When you overcome one challenge, there will be another. There is always another mountain to climb. If we make the mistake of just living for the destination, we’ll look up one day and realize we’ve missed out on the biggest part of life because most of life is routine. Most of us get up every morning, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed and do it again. There are very few mountaintops where you graduate from school, or you get married, or have a child, or go on vacation. The high times are few and far between. Don’t get stuck living for the mountaintops. Learn to enjoy the path you’re on. Learn to enjoy the people in your life. Learn to enjoy the simple blessings of walking in the path the Lord has prepared for you.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for the gift of life. Thank You for the good plan You have for me today and for my future. Teach me to enjoy the journey of life, to embrace each day with joy and enthusiasm. Help me to see the blessings of every moment You have given me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Very encouraging word. It is very true that we sometimes just focus on the end result and not paying attention to how that result will be achieved. The Lord be with you always. Amen.
Amen, glory be to the Lord Jesus.
Thanks bro and sis for this world. So encouranging and buiding. May the Lord God bless you Amen.
good Word indeed.Lord help me enjoy the daily grind of life.When my boys make so much noise that they constantly wake the baby up.When I have to do everything alone,help me to do it with joy.help me to not complain.when I see friends surrounded by family who can give support help me to not yearn for my family in Zambia and wish my kids also had grandparents,aunts and uncles nearby and when I can’t afford a ticket to go visit Zambia give me the grace and strength.Amen[-o<[-o<
As for me i will do the the opposite, i will focus on the finishing line (the mark).
Brothers, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 3 :13 -14)
It’s wonderful to be reminded to enjoy the journey, and as #5 has said we must also focus on the goal. Peace :)>-
Praise be to GOD. [-(:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-AMEN
Yes , good message and Amen . ……….But we also need to be careful about throwing all responsibility for our lives back to God ,…… like we always do . …!……..[-(
Could have been a good attempt at mere motivational article, but it`s blemished by that god crap.
That b*****s called prayer makes it the more unworthy. I f at all he lived, jesus was a mere mortal. and god and the bible with it1s fables are a human creation. Do some seriuos reseach and you wold be amazed how you and your likes have been misled. Dont comfort yourself in simple answers about life and the trajectory. The universe in general is complex and calls for complex answers. Science is the answer. See how its making your lazy damn a*** to easily communicate.
