Don't put it Off
“This is the day the
Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it”
(Psalm 118:24, NIV)
Many people are waiting for their circumstances to change in
order to be happy and enjoy their lives. All the time I hear things like, “As
soon as I get out of this problem, Danny, I’ll be happy.” “As soon as I lose
ten pounds...as soon as my business grows…as soon as my child straightens up…”
No, if you don’t put your foot down and decide to be happy right now, there
will always be something to keep you from being happy.
God never intended for us to put off our happiness. We have
a choice to make each and every day. We have to set our minds in the right
direction. That’s why David said, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will
rejoice and be glad in it.” He was saying, “This is the day to be happy; not
tomorrow, not when the weather clears up. Not next week, when I don’t have to
work so hard. Not next month, when I make it through this difficult time.” No,
choose to honor the Lord right now by choosing to enjoy your life. Get rid of
the excuses and rejoice because this is the day !!!
