As we begin each day, we trust we’ll still be around at the end of the day. What happens in between depends on how we start in the morning and how we end in the evening.
Psalm 92:1-6 “1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,”
Verses 1 and 2 describe an ideal day: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.”
That’s how we ought to live each day.
When you wake up in the morning, remember His lovingkindness. Don’t wake up grouchy, saying, “Oh my, another day.” Wake up saying, “Today the Lord loves me, and His lovingkindness endures forever. God has my life in His hands. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
During the day offer praise and thanksgiving. “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.”
Find every reason you can to praise Him–even for little things like parking places, phone calls that bring a blessing to you or perhaps news of a friend.
At the close of the day, remember God’s faithfulness. In the morning we look forward to lovingkindness. During the day we experience that lovingkindness. And at the end of the day, we can look back and say, “God has been faithful.”
No matter how difficult this day may be for you, when you get to the end, you’re going to be able to look back and say, “Great is Thy faithfulness.”
