Each day's a gift....

So I have to admit a certain penchant for Chris Moyles in the morning...!
Tuned in this morning and the new Nickleback song was playing, now I'm not a die hard fan but I think they are ok. Anyway a line from the song really struck me:
"Each day is a gift, not a given right"
Seems to be a theme with me this week! Dont know if you noticed!!
Psalm 84 v 10 is one of my favorite verses (I have lots!!)
"One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship,
beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches.
I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God
than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin"
I was thinking about the fact that we have a choice each day what our attitude is going to be and this can shape our day. So we can focus on the circumstances, which lets face it can sometimes be pretty crummy! Or we can choose to focus on the God who is in control over all those circumstances!
It really is up to us! We may start out the day struggling and finding things hard but the moment we look up and bring God into the equation things can change, not neccessarily the situation but definetly how we feel within that situation.
So remember, we can spend our day taking it for granted and focussing on the clouds, or look above to the Son who lights it all up!
Where would we rather be today, the choice is ours!
