THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

THE MIRACLE ON THE HUDSON

It’s been almost 13 years ago now. I was watching the news when Captain Sullenberger successfully landed a jet airplane in the Hudson River. All 155 passengers survived. They made a movie about it called “The Miracle on the Hudson.” A reporter asked one passenger what he thought about it all. He was soaking wet, freezing cold, a little bit frazzled, but he had this incredible glow about him, an EXCITEMENT in his voice. I’ll never forget what he told the reporter, he said “I was alive before, but now I’m REALLY ALIVE.”

My question today is, “Are YOU really alive?” Are you PASSIONATE about the LIFE God has given you? Do you get up every morning with ENTHUSIASM, pursuing your DREAMS? God doesn’t want you to just “be alive” or just exist or endure. He wants you to be REALLY ALIVE! You have seeds of GREATNESS on the inside. There is something more for you to ACCOMPLISH. Get EXCITED about what God is doing! Lift up your eyes of FAITH to Him. Keep HOPING, keep BELIEVING, keep TRUSTING and keep LIVING because God has a wonderful plan in store for you!

Today’s Scripture:

“The thief comes only to steal and Kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

(John 10:10, NIV)
