No Ordinary Day

Category : Lifestyle, example

The other day as I was putting my kids to bed on Valentine’s night they said, “Daddy what is the next special day after Valentine’s Day?” I said to them, “Tomorrow is just an ordinary day.” As soon as I said that it was like God smacked me in the head and I had a light bulb moment. What came to me was that, “There is no such thing as an ordinary day.” That was simple, but monumental. Even with all of the various things life throws our way there is nothing ordinary about any of the days of our lives. Many times we allow the things we are in to determine the ordinary nature or extraordinary nature of our days. This is not the determining factor. What makes our days worthwhile is the fact that it was given to us byt the Lord. The bible says to use, “This is the day that the Lord has made.” Seeing as the Lord made each day is has an intrinsic value all its own. What needs to happen then is that we need to prepare our hearts to meet our un-ordinary days. Everyday that we wake up in the morning needs to be one where we wake up on the right side of the bed. Drama may have carried itself over to the next day, but what do you take over to the next day? We are told in the bible that everyday bring new mercies. How cool is that? I love the fact that God gives us reason and incentive to have a great day. Now, you decide… What kind of day will you have? Peace
