 Wired for Disaster

We often do to our day what I did to a recent bike ride.

My friend and I were on a hill-country trek.  Within a half hour my thighs ached and my lungs heaved like a beached whale.  I could hardly pump the pedals.

That’s when my riding partner discovered the problem.  Both rear brakes were rubbing my back tire.  It was a ride destined to be a tough one!

Don’t we do the same?  Guilt presses on one side.  Dread drags the other.

And we sabotage our day, wiring it for disaster!  Downloading tomorrow’s struggles. 

How about a day changer?  Here’s my proposal:  consult Jesus.  He has something to say about our days. 

Give us day by day our daily bread.  Take up your cross each day and follow Me!

Give the day a chance.  Fill it with God.

Choose to make it a great day—every day!
