May 5: A Good Day

Scripture Lesson: Psalm 84:10-12

On this day in 1925, Hall-of-Famer Ty Cobb had a pretty good day at the plate. Cobb went 6 for 6, including 3 home runs, in the Tigers 14-8 win over the St. Louis Browns. Cobb’s 16 total bases set a new American League Record. I would say that was a day at the plate any one of us would gladly take!

In today’s Scripture lesson, the Psalmist describes what a good day would be like for him. In his mind, a good day is spent in the presence of God! There is no place the Psalmist would rather be than in God’s presence, in God’s house. The psalmist speaks of God as the source of light and protection, one who bestows favor and honor on those whose walk is blameless. We are blessed when we trust in God! A good day is filled with the presence of God and enjoying His fellowship and love as we walk with Him, trusting Him along the way!

1. When is the last time we spent time in His presence as the psalmist describes?

2. How would we characterize our walk with Him?

3. How do we show the world we trust in God?

God is waiting for us to enjoy a great day with Him. Why not take the time today to get away and spend some time with God and then walk with Him as we impact the world for Him!
