This is the day that the Lord has made – PERIOD! - Anon
Paul was quick to point out that all he possessed or became was because of Jesus alone. AMEN!
I’m sure if we all give it some thought we can remember a time or two when we reached for something and got our hand smacked by mom or dad because we did not ask permission. We just assumed that because it was in reach, and it was good for us, it was ours for the taking; no thoughts about anything else. But the lesson learned from this experience ran deeper than just asking permission, it forced us to think about the who, the why, the where issues behind it and realize we should never take things for granted. Jesus taught his disciples through prayer to ‘ask’ of God all their needs, with phrases such as “Give us this day”….or “forgive us our trespasses”….or even “lead us not into temptation,” etc. Well, TODAY is a gift. If we’ve taken anything without asking God’s permission, it’s not too late to say THANKS!
Until tomorrow…..
