Written by Whitney Hopler, a contemporary writer and editor.
Every day God gives you is a precious gift – a new opportunity to experience God’s goodness, share God’s love, and walk in God’s purposes. It can be easy to take the ordinary moments of life for granted, but each sunrise is a reminder of God’s sustaining grace, and every breath you take is evidence of God’s mercy. You can embrace each day fully, even in difficult circumstances. When life feels overwhelming, take a break to slow down and turn your attention to the simple yet significant gift of being alive. Ask God to show you the wonder of his work in your daily life, and intentionally look for it. A moment of peace, an act of kindness, or the ability to experience the beauty of nature can all remind you that every day is a gift from God to you. Even the most challenging days of your life are still valuable gifts that God has given you – and God is right there with you, ready to help you deal with your challenges. The more you reach out to God, the more you can notice God’s presence with you in every day and in every moment.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.[Psalm 23:6]
