This is the day that the Lord has made, we shall be glad and rejoice in it. Thanks be to God for making us to see the bright shinning light of the day. It is a day we have never had before. It is new and fresh. You as a child of God definitely must have a great expectation for the day. But how can the day be so great for you?
‘See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph. 5:15-19)
In those scriptures there are 7 great ways to make your day great and profitable. Let’s consider them one after the other:
1. Walk Circumspectly: The best way to live as an overcomer today is to be careful and disciplined. Never give room to careless visitation. Let your feet take you to where you will be edified and made strong. ‘Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful..’ (Ps. 1:1) Take it to heart to be Christ-like in you deeds, be open to instructions in righteousness, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Ask God to create in you a new heart. You cannot bear your burden alone. Unburden them to the Lord. Meekness is a great power that will impact your day positively-use it. Be sincere in all things. Pray without ceasing and expect great things from God. Correct in love and say the truth in your heart. Lay hand suddenly on no man and yield yourself completely to God. If you do these things, your circumspection will be great and complete.
2. Redeem The Time: The evils of today are sufficient for it. Get involved in productive things and give no room for idleness. The idle hand is the workshop of the devil. Are you seeking spiritual growth, get spiritual books and read them for your personal edification. Find opportunity to do good to others. There is a wonderful power in the gospel to change lives. Share your testimony with someone today. Say no to gossiping and let the word of Christ dwell in your richly.
3. Be Ye Not Unwise: The fool has said in his heart that there is no God. Don’t be a companion of such. Rather identify with those that love the Lord. It will be foolish to be a partaker in other men’s sins.
4. Understand What The Will Of God Is: How shall a man cleanse his ways but by taking heed to the word of God? Be a committed friend to the word of God. Hide God’s word in your heart and you will not sin against him. ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of they mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success’. (Jos. 1:8)
5. Be Filled With The Holy Spirit: What can we do without the Holy Spirit? Nothing. You need the Spirit of the living God to be holy. The more we are filled with the Spirit of God, the more prepared we’ll be to obey Him. True and selfless love is a product of the Holy Spirit. It is the only path to complete yieldedness to God.
6. Speak In Psalms, Hymns And Spiritual Songs: Is there anyone afraid of tomorrow? Encourage him in the words of Psalm 23 and 121. ‘The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…’ ‘I will lift up my head above the hills; from whence cometh my help? My help come from God who made the heaven and the earth’. Do you know anyone distressed? Encourage that one that we have a great friend in Jesus according to the hymn ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’. There is a spiritual song that has always edified you. Use it to make others strong.
7. Give Thanks Always Unto God: When things go the way you want it, give thanks to God. When things fail to go the way you want it, give thanks to God. In every disappointment, there is an equivalent or greater blessing and benefit. Count your blessings and thank God for His abundant grace and mercy. Remember that you are specially and wonderfully made.
That’s it. The 7 Great Ways To Have A Great Day. Remain Blessed.

this was a great post. It is nice to see a nonjew studying the Jewish bible and not just their christian new testament.
Tidbits of Torah, thanks for your post.
The word of God is complete and consist of both the old and new testaments.
Christ laid that example by living according to the scriptures. As a child of God, it is a duty to continue 'looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith'.
