The Perfect Day on the Beach


The Perfect Day on the Beach

Psalms 89:15-16

How happy are the people who know the sound of joy! They walk in the light of Your face, O Lord. They are full of joy in Your name all day long. And by being right with You, they are honored.
New Life Version Bible

It is a perfect day on the beach!  The sky is a Carolina Blue dotted with puffy white clouds.  The ocean is rolling with gentle waves and the water is a soothing temperature that cuddles with the inner soul.  The tranquil ocean breeze baths my lungs and I feel invigorated.  Even the shorebirds know it is a perfect day as the Pelicans peacefully soar; the Seagulls gently laugh; and the Skimmers gracefully glide the water for their catch. I even found a complete sand dollar topping off the perfect day that God created.

I wonder what Jesus’ perfect day was. Was it the day as a young boy he entered the temple claiming this is His Father’s House.  Even a better day may have been when John the Baptist baptizes him.  Or is it the day He arose from the dead ascending to heaven to sit on the right hand of God the Father.  God sent His only Son Jesus to offer us an everlasting life.  Jesus is the Good Shepherd leading each of us with joy and happiness.  Just like the perfect day on the beach, Jesus has promised a perfect walk with Him if we choose to follow him. 

Let us focus on the perfection in our lives which following Jesus will bring us. It is through our own baptism and the words “Christ is Risen” that we are promised an everlasting life filled with perfection. Once in a great while we are privileged with a perfect day on earth, so now ask your self  “What is your perfect day?”


O Perfect Father,
I thank you for the perfect days you give me, as they are glimpse of your Holy Kingdom and fill me with joy.  Guide me through the days to come to be more perfect in your love and understanding.  I praise your name and thank you for sending Jesus to give me the promise of everlasting life.
In your name we pray,
 Amen.

Your commitment for today: Identify your perfect day and praise God.
