Most days are average. Hum-drum. Boring, even. Most are regular—not great, not awful. We love mountaintop days. Who doesn’t love those greatest days, days of excitement and joy, victory and success, achievement and celebration? Every life has rare days you look back on, islands of excitement in a sea of the ordinary.
I look back on Youth Congress. In 1985 we went to Washington, D.C., to a national event for Christian youth. There were musicians and speakers and something like 50,000 young people gathered together, sparking with an electric energy none of us had ever seen before. I remember a speaker who told us to look around and take it all in. He said this fall when you go back to your high school, remember that there are 50,000 on your side, 50,000 who have your back. When you face peer pressure, remember the 50,000 supporting you, wanting you to walk with Christ.
That stuck with me. That was 38 years ago, but I still remember looking around that huge arena in the nation’s capitol and seeing 50,000 other kids cheering and singing about Jesus and rooting for each other to be faithful and walk with Him on the narrow road. But that was only one day—one brief moment. Yet it still has an impact.
“Better is one day in Your Courts than thousands elsewhere” Psalm 84:10.
Someone has said that life is not the years—not even the days—but the MOMENTS. God speaks to us in MOMENTS. ONE DAY is all it takes. When you go to the PASSION CONFERENCE, the time will fly by. But ONE DAY in the Courts of your King is all it takes. ONE DAY can change your life forever.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR ONE DAY IN HIS COURTS. God only needs a MOMENT to touch your heart and plant seeds there that will bless EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. that follows.
God, we give you our ONE DAY. Thank you for ONE DAY IN YOUR COURTS.
