Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts.
As you start your day today, remember that many people live their lives without doing much they intend to do because they get busy doing things that don’t accomplish what is truly important to them. “I’m busy” has become the standard excuse for everything we should have done but didn’t do. If you see people you once heard from regularly but don’t return your calls anymore, they will probably say, “I’m sorry I haven’t called you back. I’ve just been so busy.”
What if God never answered us and gave the excuse of being too busy?
I truly wonder how many people, at the end of their lives, feel they lived the life they were meant to live. How many have nothing but regret about what they did or didn’t do during their time on earth? You only have one life, and if it isn’t going as you want it to, now is the time to make changes.
When we live unproductive lives, we should take responsibility for them. God gives us free will. This means we have the ability to make choices in every area of life. If we don’t follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in our choices, we will end up with regrets. Today’s scripture is a prayer for God to help us when we choose to live according to His will.
God has a will and purpose for you. Use your free will to choose His will to enjoy the best life possible.
Prayer of the Day: God, help me use my time wisely today. Guide my choices by Your Spirit so I live with purpose, avoid regret, and follow Your will instead of distractions, amen.
