What A Difference A Day Makes

Encouragement for your daily walk with God

One day in your life can make a world of difference. Take Joseph, for example. For all he knew, he was doomed to spend the rest of his life in an Egyptian prison. But one day, he was released and became a leader in the Egyptian Empire. 

Another example is Jesus. Those who hated Him had Him killed. His body was left to decay in a dark tomb. But one day, He supernaturally came out of the grave in newness of life, after which, He ascended to heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father. 

What a difference a day makes!

As a Christ follower, we have had a one day experience as well. We were dead in our trespasses and sins, then one day, we were made alive in Christ [Ephesians 2:5]. There was a time when we walked in darkness, but one day, the Light broke through [Isaiah 9:2; 1st Peter 2:9]. 

The world desperately needs to see the one day experience of every Christ follower, so live it out — or as I like to say, “Let ‘er rip!” Live in the realization that you are a child of God. Who knows, perhaps the Lord will use you to help a lost soul have their one day experience. 

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.  Ephesian 2:4-5
