Psalm
103:15
As
for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Deanna
built a career on her looks. She had been the dream girl of Hollywood and had
loved living the fast life. Now, her looks were fading and Deanna had nothing
to fall back on. She had believed her charmed life would never end, but the
hard reality was that she no longer could bank on her beauty.
We
are given each day as a gift. Once a day is gone, it can never be recaptured.
Too often we live our lives as if they are going to go on forever just as they
are. Lives change, and we need to be ready to change with them. God helps us to
accept where we are and to grow to new levels of maturity. Before this day
passes and is gone, call upon the Lord to help you make the most of it. Then,
when the new day dawns, be ready for the challenges it brings.
Prayer:
Help me to live for what is important this day, so that I might truly be ready
for all the days to come. Your gifts are so wonderful, Lord. Please don't allow
me to take them for granted. Amen.
