THE DAILY MOTIVATOR
Tuesday, September 5, 2006

The day that is
+++++++++++++++++++

This is the day that is. This is the day you now have.

There’s nothing to be gained by wishing for what might have been today. There’s no value to be had in harboring resentment for whatever brought you to this point.

What matters now is that you fill this day with the best that you have. What matters now is that you make full and positive use of the day that is.

This day has the very real potential of being a turning point in your life. Years from now, you could be looking back on this day with an overflowing sense of satisfaction and gratitude.

What can you do, right now, that would cause that to happen?
What value can you put into this day that will grow ever more precious as time goes on?

This day is the time and the place for you to carry your life forward. So where do you choose to go?

Ralph Marston

Quick Thought:

“Sing praise to the LORD, You saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, his favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:4-5 (NKJ)

Luke 13:31-35

“Just at that time some Pharisees came up, saying to Him (to Jesus), “Go away and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.”

“And He (Jesus) said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal. Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.”

“”O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!”

“Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Luke 13:31-35 (NAS)

John 11:55-57

“Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover, to purify themselves.”

“Therefore they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another, as they stood in the temple, “What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?”

“Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.” John 11:55-57 (NAS)
