Consider Today As A Gift From God

Each new day is a precious gift from God. It is not guaranteed by our strength or secured by our plans, but lovingly entrusted to us by His mercy. Too often, we rush into our schedules without pausing to recognise that the very breath in our lungs is grace. To consider today as God’s gift is to awaken with gratitude and to walk with purpose.

Let’s stop taking the small moments for granted. Every conversation, every opportunity, and every challenge carries the potential to glorify God. The present is holy ground where His presence meets us. Yesterday is behind us and tomorrow is unknown, but today is where God works in us and through us.

Scripture reminds us, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24 NLT). Joy is found when we choose to treasure the gift of today.
