"And there was evening, and there was and morning - the first day." - Genesis 1:5
Today is June 18, 2021. The 169th day of this year and roughly the 737,469th day since year 1 using the Gregorian calendar system. That's a lot of days but only in the sense man started keeping a calendar. No one knows the actual number of days since creation but God alone. And God has given us a prescribed number of days in His book (Ps. 139:16). Moses asked God to "teach us to number them to gain a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). Have you ever done that. I don't mean in a morbid way, but in terms of measurement or progress. We all have an average life expectancy and hopefully we're living it to the fullest. Each day we get is an opportunity to attempt great things for God. And the good thing about it is these great things don't have to be announced from a stage or loud speaker for all to see, they can be as small as a genuine kindness expressed to someone we meet. Well, today is a gift, how will you use it?
Until tomorrow...
Pastor Botts
"This is the DAY the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24
P.S. - for those who can make it we'll be gathering at the church at 9am tomorrow for our 'Prayer Walk.' We will have groups going to designated areas in Inglewood to pray for our community. We will regroup at the church afterwards for a 'continental' breakfast. IF YOU ARE WILLING AND ABLE we're asking everyone to fast, beginning at 3pm TODAY until we meet for the breakfast tomorrow morning.
