Best Day Ever

In all honesty, many of the days that she declared as the ‘best’ did not even make my Top 5.

2 Corinthians 6:1-18

Reference: v.2 For he says,
“In the time of my favour I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation. (TNIV Bible)

Explore: I used to live with one of the most positive people in the world. Whenever there was something exciting happening she would loudly declare, “This is going to be the BEST DAY EVER!”

As a realist, I used to inwardly think, ‘Best day? Really? That’s a big call. It would have to be pretty amazing to be the BEST day ever!’

In all honesty, many of the days that she declared as the ‘best’ did not even make my Top 5.

However, her positive speech raised my expectation. It made me focus on the great things in the day and look on the day with a positive filter rather than it just being another 24 hours of my life. It meant that I headed into the day anticipating the potential of all that it could bring.

Application: When I read the end of verse two of 2 Corinthians 6, I felt it was like my housemate declaring today as the ‘best day ever’.

“Now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.”

This is the positive potential God speaks over our day. Our day can look so much better if we believe that God has placed His favour upon our time.

The question is not whether God’s favour is upon our day… He already states that it is. The question is: where will you see God’s favour in your life today?

Prayer: Lord, each day is filled with Your favour. May we open our eyes to see the salvation You bring for today. Amen.

Where have you seen God’s favour in your life today?
