Bible Verse of the Day:
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him, Colossians 3:15-17.
Biblical Connection:
When Neal Page wants to get home for Thanksgiving, a series of events continue to alter his plans. During this emotional journey, Neal understands what it’s like to have a bad day get even worse. Del Griffith tries to help his new friend reach his desired destination, but having his car impounded complicates this even further. While Neal tries to part ways, Del won’t take no for an answer.
The apostle Paul details the obstacles to becoming a Christian in Colossians 3. Paul begins with the positive, the power of the resurrection to transform one’s life. Yet, human nature serves as a daily reminder to what’s holding Christians back from becoming spiritually transformed. Rather than allow self-fulfilled prophecies worsen a bad day, let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to combat the obstacles of having a bad day.
Closing Song:
The next time you find yourself caught in the in between, cry out to Jesus. When you do, you’ll begin to experience the joy of being captured by God’s love. May the lyrics of today’s song propel you toward a thankful spirit the next time a bad day seeks to steal your joy in life.
