A Good Day


What is a good day for a believer?  In the Word of the Lord it says this in Psalm 118:24, “This is the day that Adonai has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!”  If a true believer wakes in the morning, it is a good day in which they should thank and praise the Lord for.  Every day is a gift from God and we should be thankful for it.

Read what Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 7:13-14, “Consider the work of God, for who can straighten what He has bent? In a time of prosperity, prosper! But in a time of adversity, consider: God has made one as well as the other. Therefore man cannot discover anything about his future.”  No matter where you find yourself in prosperity or want, it is still a good day for a believer, for who knows what the Lord will do that day for you.  Even if you are sick, the prayer you pray that day may be answered and you may receive a healing in your body or deliverance or whatever it is that you are seeking an answer for!!

Now read Philippians 4:7, “And the shalom of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua.”

We should learn a lesson from Paul’s words in Philippians 4:10-13, “I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me (though you were concerned before but lacked opportunity to show it). I am not saying this because I am in need—for whatever circumstance I am in, I have learned to be content. I know what it is to live with humble means, and I know what it is to live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment—both to be filled and to go hungry, to have abundance and to suffer need. I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me.”

Being content in all things isn’t always easy for many people, but if we learn to faithfully trust the Lord He will meet all our needs just as He did for Paul and so many others that put their trust and faith in Him through the years.
   
Now read Romans 8:27-39, “And He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Ruach, because He intercedes for the kedoshim according to the will of God. Now we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified, He also glorified. What then shall we say in view of these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? It is Messiah, who died, and moreover was raised, and is now at the right hand of God and who also intercedes for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, ‘For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.’ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.”

If you are a true believer, every day is a good day and we should thank and praise the Lord for every one, for He is worthy!!  When a person has repented of their sins and has asked for forgiveness and has been washed by the precious blood of Jesus and been set free, every day should be a good day.  I hope this Tidbit has been an encouragement to you and a blessing.  I also hope you have a super, super day in the Lord!!  May the good Lord bless you and yours and don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord, like I said, He is worthy!!
