I saw a guy today wearing a t-shirt that simply said, “BEST DAY EVER.”

That got my mind working, probably more than it should, and I’ve come up with a theory to share with you.

You may have had great days in the past. You may have days you wish you could bring back or relive or take a trip in a time machine to. But no matter how good those days were, they are over.

Today is your best day ever because it is still alive with possibility. You can still choose to radically step out in faith, to make that phone call to a parent or child or friend, to seek forgiveness over a hurt you’ve harbored for a long time.

The Bible says, “Now is the day of salvation.”

That means that today, right where you are, no matter what you’ve done, it’s never too late to say YES to Jesus and have a new start and be a new person.

People will say that times where better back when they were children because there was less worry and stress. Maybe. But maybe they had good parents who kept the stresses and worries of life away from them until they were ready to handle it.

The best days are now, because that’s where God is moving and acting. That’s where people all over the world are calling Jesus Lord for the first time and finding the true and real life they’ve been searching for through many dead ends and false hopes over the years.

Even if today seems like a train-wreck of bad decisions and bad timing and bad outcomes, tomorrow holds all the promise of a new day with new possibilities.

No matter what happens, I choose to trust my God and wait in expectation for Him to do something amazing. I keep my eyes wide open to what He’s up to.

And that makes today the best day ever.
