A Good Reason To Wake Up To This Day

Saturday January 22, 2022

Why do we get up in the morning?  What’s the point of me being part of this day? These are questions that people ask when they are feeling the burdens of life, but they are genuine questions to ask God each day. God is sure to have an answer for us today that will encourage us and bring joy to our hearts. 


Jesus said:  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free.  (Luke 4:18 NLT)

We are not just wandering through each day hoping to stay sober and put in another day.  God created each of us for a purpose, and each day we make ourselves available to Him, God will do amazing things through us. He will use us to bring good news to others. God will give us activities to do and words to say that will help others reach out to Him for healing and release from their addictions and problematic issues. 


How does God do that?
  He fills us with His Holy Spirit who guides and empowers us to do what God knows will bless both us and others.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you  So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.  (John 14:26, 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT)

Sharing our experience, strength, and hope of what God has done for us is a wonderful way to help others know and find freedom. 

Prayer:  Loving God, Today I am honoured to be a person who desires to be useful for good purposes. Help me to let go of self-centered pursuits that don’t satisfy and sincerely give myself to You and the plans You have for me this day. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and work in me so I recognize the opportunities You are putting before me. My desire is to encourage and strengthen someone who, like me, needs the power to change their ways. Amen
