Topic. Make It a Good Day

Text: "And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good…" (Genesis 1:31).

Looking at the many things in creation that God
created, we stand in awe at how wonderful they
are. We are given the account of the six days of
creation, where God listed all the things He
made and said they were very good. Yet often
overlooked is the day when light and darkness
were separated, when God created “day.”
Sometimes, with all that goes on in the world we
approach our day wondering what events may
await us. Of course, every person has had what
would seem like a bad day. However, God wants
us to tap into a truth about how to have good
day regardless of what occurs during it. Since
the Lord made the day, we need to agree with
Him and call it good. Psalms 118:24 says, “This
is the day which the Lord hath made.” This verse
tells us how to make it a good day. It says, “…we
will rejoice and be glad in it.” What are we to be
glad in? We are glad because it’s a good day!
Not long ago I heard one of my son’s football
coaches say, “Make today a good day!”
That is how we should live. Challenges can face
us on any given day, but because the Lord made
this day you can call it good and choose to make
it a very good day!

PRAYER
Dear Lord, You made everything, including today. I
call this a good day by faith and I rejoice in it. I
say right now, I shall have a very good day! In
Jesus’ Name, amen.
