By DIGC14 September 2020
The privilege of seeing a new day is a gift from God. So, the habit of appreciating God always for seeing a new day is wisdom for daily living.
SCRIPTURE: Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150:6
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The habit of appreciating God always for seeing a new day is wisdom for daily living.
In our last study, we saw the first wisdom for daily living. It is putting God first in our days. That is, communing with God first in the morning before doing other things.
Today, we shall look at another wisdom tip for daily living and that is, appreciating God for the privilege of life – appreciating Him for the gift of the day.
The privilege of seeing a new day is a gift from God. So, the habit of appreciating God always for seeing a new day is wisdom for daily living. Today is your present; yesterday was your past and tomorrow will be your future. Today is a gift from God; appreciate God for it.
Psalms 150:6 says, Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Appreciate God for the gift of life. What you don’t appreciate will depreciate. The day will lose its value if you don’t value it before God with appreciation. The day loses worth if you don’t know and appreciate its worth before God. A day will pass like every other day if you don’t appreciate God for it. It was not your wisdom, educational qualification, certificate, anointing that woke you up today; it was the mercy of God.
The Psalmist, in Psalm 3:5, says, I laid me down and slept; I awake for the Lord sustained me.
This means, if God does not sustain you, you won’t wake up. So, you have to thank God for the gift and privilege of life. Appreciate Him for the gift of the day.
Remember this: The habit of appreciating God always for seeing a new day is wisdom for daily living.
