You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. --James 4:14
This verse is a challenging reminder to make every day count!
It can be easy to get distracted by problems or vain pursuits… or even to get weighed down in the same routine from day to day… and forget that God created you with specific plans in mind.
He wants your relationship with Him to deepen with every passing day… He wants to develop your Christian character… and He wants to use you to touch the lives of others.
God desires for you to experience a life of purpose and meaning here on this earth… and to be spiritually prepared to spend eternity with Him.
But time is short! And life can be filled with unexpected turns. So it’s important not to waste the days that God has given you but to make every day count for Him.
MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT IN FOLLOWING THE LORD AND FULFILLING HIS PURPOSES!

Unfortunately, I suspect I could a whole lot better at this if I could start eery morning actually planning to make the day count for Christ. Most days, I am so rushed it doesn't move on to the radar screen.
So, how do we develop a habit that will alst that helps us start our day focused upwards?

By far, busyness is my greatest challenge. I have tried to meditate more and more on the presence of God through the Holy Spirit in ALL circumstances. In doing so I have found more conversational praying throughout my days.
One of the chief distractors for me, however, is entertainment in general. Unplugging more has helped free mental space and actual time for family and Christ.
Definitely could use all of your prayers in this area.

It's great to see how God runs the same message through different methods. This is definitely a theme in my life right now. It's amazing how I make trivial things a priority like getting the free TV promo from Verizon and neglecting praying for my kids.
I have to accept the challenge of setting the alarm and journaling to every morning to take care of business. For those of you who know me please hold me accountable.
