FOCUS ON TODAY

Hebrews 3:15:.....while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in rebellion."

Do you realize when you are focused on tomorrow, next week, or even next month, the chances are you have totally missed out on recognizing the blessings of today!  For instance, have you noticed the beautiful day we are having, have you been fed, what about what you are wearing.  Unfortunately, we tend to take these things for granted and fail to see them as blessings, much less daily blessings.  Matthew 6:30 tells us "today" is what is important.  We are not guaranteed tomorrow.  To live by faith our decisions should be based on what we can do today.  Let God take care of tomorrow.  Focusing on the big picture, we tend to become overwhelmed.  "The power of walking in faith is having enough faith to get through today.  When we set our focus on today we begin to plant the seeds of tomorrow and we will reap a harvest!" (1)  The only way to walk in God's will is to walk in faith.

So, does this mean we can sit idly by?  No, we need to plant the seeds of tomorrow today.  What does this mean?  We don't plant corn seeds and worry about harvesting tomatoes.  Corn seeds yield corn.  So, plant the seeds you are able to plant today.  Then we will joyfully anticipate our harvest!! Learn to trust that the blessings will come and let the the excitement in the surprises of tomorrow fill our heart.

Take care dear friends!!  See you at the House!
