In the midst of life (i.e. chaos), it’s so easy to get bogged down with what’s directly in front us vs. the bigger picture.  How wonderful God provides reminders in different shapes and forms! 

My first reminder today came in my daily Words of Encouragement: 

When you feel that emotional roller coaster starting to climb a hill, stop it in its tracks and say, “This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Quite frankly, I need to meditate on this verse (Psalm 118:24) every day  – God made today – He knows exactly who and what will cross my path.  So as long as I am looking to Him, the emotional roller coaster never needs to leave the gate!

One of the best investments I’ve made this year is my 365 Days of Encouragement for the Workplace – it’s a perpetual calendar with a daily inspirational thought by Daymaker Inspriational Gifts – check them out!
