Just For Today!

This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

Take a moment and ask yourself,
"Is this how I live?"
If not, make some changes!

Just for today, I'll enjoy each moment to the fullest and try not to tackle my whole life's problems at once.
Just for today, I'll try to improve my mind by learning more than I know; I'll read God's Word faithfully for it's my source of wisdom and strength. I'll be particularly sensitive to those Scriptures that require personal obedience, corrective action, and greater commitment.
Just for today, I'll be agreeable, try to look my best and make sure my words are"seasoned with grace."
Just for today, I won't find fault or try to change or improve anyone - except myself.
Just for today, I'll have a plan and a goal. I might not follow them exactly but I'll have them nonetheless. By doing that I'll save myself from two enemies - hurry and indecision!
Just for today, I'll develop my character. I'll do someone a good turn and keep it secret; if anyone finds out it won't count.
Just for today, I'll do something I don't naturally want to do, there by train my spirit to rule my flesh and my will to rule my emotions.
Just for today, I won't be afraid to love or to risk; I'll take steps of faith that stretch me beyond my present comfort level, try to enjoy all God's blessings, and believe that every seed I sow in His Kingdom will be multiplied back to me many times over.
This is how I'll live - just fortoday!
