One Day At A Time
Food for Thought
An all-creatures.org Guide to Kingdom Living

If just for today, Lord, I’ll keep my eyes, and heart in tune to your ever loving presence.  I’ll walk with you, and glean upon your every word ... be ready to go, ready to stay, and bask in the fullness of your day.

If just for today, Lord, I’ll find joy in whatever comes my way, give you glory in each situation... smell the roses, pat the dog, and enjoy the wonder of your creation.

If just for today, Lord, I’ll check my thoughts, motives, and ways.  I’ll see through your eyes all you’d have me to see and be all you’d have me to be.  I’ll reach out to my fellow man, give others a helping hand, and let Christ live in me.

The life of a true servant can only be lived “One Day At A Time.”

The purpose of this series is to encourage people to live as loving, compassionate, and peacemaking children of God: Jesus tells us to pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) God tells us through Micah (6:8), "He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God." And we know from Revelation 21:4 that there will be no more mourning, or crying, or pain, or death. Thus, Christian living requires us to set the standards of these conditions here on earth for our fellow human beings, and for the other animals, as a witness to the rest of the world. To do otherwise is not Christian.
