Embrace Today!
"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24It is so easy to pine away precious hours of our lives looking ahead to tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. We dream of when our husband gets that raise or promotion or new job, when we get that new house or new car. Or when we get married, or have that baby, or find a good church, or meet some like-minded friends. And on and on it goes.
Often, while we are so wrapped up in looking ahead and longing, dreaming, and wishing we miss out on today. This is the day that the Lord has made. This is the moment we are living in. Let's live it to the fullest!
"Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God." -Jim Elliot
The next few days, we'll be talking about "embracing today", and I'll be sharing more of how God is teaching me this in my own life right now. I hope and pray that these lessons might be an encouragement to many of you--no matter what season of life you are in.
