Today emerges from of all your yesterdays, it materializes out of your hopes and dreams of days gone by and will become a memory as it’s light slowly fades into tomorrow. Today is a gift to you from all your yesterdays. What you do in the next 24 hours will be the foundation of your future as today gives way to the onward movement of time it’s shadows will become the light of your future. As the seconds turn to minutes and the minutes to hours you will face many choices, choices that will ripple into the distant future.
Thousands of years ago a man named Joshua like you faced the challenges of his tomorrows and with a wisdom beyond time stated, “Choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” {Joshua 24:15 RSV} Joshua knew God held the future in His heart so Joshua’s only real choice was to serve and follow Him.
Today God’s voice echoes across time and space, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart.” {Jeremiah 29:11 - 29:13 RSV}
Grace and Peace,
