Every Day Can Be Extraordinary
“David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6
Like David, we all have days when we’re distressed, but we can quickly turn those days into extraordinary with a little attitude adjustment. Jesus said He came so that we might "have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10) There are things we can control and things we can’t control. We can’t control circumstances or other people, but we can exercise control over our thoughts, responses and actions through the power of the Holy Spirit. David said that he encouraged himself in the Lord, and we can, too. Regardless of the actions or attitudes of others, we can enjoy each day because God is the source of our joy.
