In directing the trust toward our Heavenly Father, Jesus stated. . .
“(25) And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? (26) If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?” (Luke 12:25-26 ESV)
Jesus said we can’t even do as small a thing as adding a single hour to whatever our life span will be! However, anxiety and stress can certainly serve to diminish our life and wear away at the quality of it. Though we may not know the full number of our days, what we are making of them is important to consider! Someone has said, “You can’t add days to your life, but you can add life to your days.” (original source unknown)
Writing to Christians at Galatia, Paul urged. . .
“(9) And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (10) So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10 ESV)
Yes, there is a way to add life to our days. With each day God brings us, He also provides the opportunities to do good to His glory and to the benefit of others! May that mark the essence of the life of our days!
Have a great day DOING THE GOOD WE CAN IN THE DAY WE HAVE!
