win the day!

We can look too far ahead for the great victories.  Every day a fresh opportunity is created for victory.  And there is not one day greater than another.  I believe that the Lord had a strategic goal in mind when He designed life on the planet.  Every day is a clean page and every day writes a story.  Every day has a definite beginning and every day has a clear end.  The challenge every day lies in a choice: will we purpose to set our minds on the Lord or will we let the day carry us away.  This is a good plan because it allows us to start fresh over and over again.  It also gives us the chance for many adventures in faith...most of which take place within the context of our everyday lives.  If we live to be 75 years old we'll have over 27,000 fresh opportunities with that many days to live.  I believe that our greatest victory is found today, as we purpose to enjoy His company, seek His ways, trust in His help and look for the unique ways He crafts into the day to know Him and to reflect Him.  I believe that no greater victory can be won than the victory we can win each day, while it is called today.  It's not so much that one day we will "have it all together" or that we will progressively build an empire of accomplishment.  It's more about the daily choice to walk with the Lord, through which He builds lasting growth within our lives.  I encourage you to move beyond survival and move beyond hopes for a "someday of happiness" and win the victory...today!   Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man who listens to me,       Watching daily at my gates,       Waiting at the posts of my doors.   blessings, Rob Smith
