Read Songbirds always start the day with a song

No matter what yesterday felt like, birds always start the new day with a song. I choose to do the same with gratitude, regardless of what this day may hold, regardless of what yesterday was like. God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, His merciful love couldn’t have dried up. Both are recreated new every morning, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise, so great is His faithfulness!

Before I check what is waiting for me, I give God thanks for this day and for being with me in it. I feel the gratitude of being alive and living every day of my life and I feel grateful for being known by my Creator who cares for me. I worry about nothing, pray about everything and thank God in all things because this is His will for me in Christ Jesus.

I don’t see myself as capable enough to do anything in my own strength, because the most alive version of me flows from God’s empowering presence. He empowers me to accomplish every good work prompted by faith. He equips me to be a capable servant of His new plan of action. I am not my own; I am bought with a price. I belong to God. Gratitude wells up inside me for this life, for I have the grace I need for today.

By the grace of God, I am who I am, and I have made sure that the grace He offered me has not been wasted. I work hard - whatever I do; I do as unto the Lord and work at it with all my heart - but it’s the grace of God that is doing the work in and through me.

He directs my steps, and He strengthens my arm. He helps me rise on wings as an eagle, or run and not grow weary, or walk and not faint. Whether I can fly, or run, or walk today, I will celebrate life’s marathon race with passion and determination. I let go of every wound that has pierced me and the sin I so easily fall into. I confess what He wants me to agree with and repent and turn away from everything thing and every thought that mis-aligns me with His presence. He is always with me.

Today, I will be with Him. No matter what season I may be in, no matter if I feel yesterday was overwhelming or a waste, today I sing like the birds. Birds always start the day with a new song, I will always start the day with thanksgiving.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

  1. What are three other aspects of my life that I feel grateful for?
  2. How can I express gratitude for being alive?
  3. How can I show I trust God with today?
