Do you finish the day dissatisfied with what you've accomplished?
Then this may help you...
When God completed each day of creation He surveyed what He had done and saw it as good.
Well this tells us something about how we should evaluate our own days.
... Yes, God rules over everything and we do not.
... And yes, God is holy and our efforts are tainted by sin.
... And yes... things such as dealing with illness, waiting in traffic, or attending fruitless meetings thwart our well-designed plans -- making it seem like our days have been wasted.
But we can still call each day good as we live with hearts turned to the Lord.
Because He is the one writing the story of our lives as He applies Christ's redemption to our world.
And He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Rom.8:28).
So by faith in Him we can end each day and call it good.
