Good Day

The other day, I was driving with a friend of mine, who'd had a few days in which things just did not go as he had planned. However, this particular day, things were going mostly in his favor, so he said to me, "Today is a good day." I am sometimes too literal of a person, but I couldn't shake the visual: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. Everyone knows the beginning of Genesis with all the "and God saw that it was good"s. One thing I noticed, though, is that he created us last. Of course, we were the final stroke on his masterpiece, but what struck me the most is that every day, God looked at his creation and saw that it was good. And we weren't even there. This means a day is not good or bad because of how it treated me. Actually, there are no bad days. All days are good. Inherently. Because God said so. Daddy, You are mighty and majestic. Thank you for every day you have created throughout time. Forgive us for trying to define you on our terms. Help us to remember that everything you have created has worth and value, including (but not limited to) us. In the name of your son we come to you, Amen.
