Deuteronomy 11:26, 27
"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A
blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD
your God, which I command you this day:"
We’ve
heard about the importance of living in the present, however today isn’t just important; it’s a
world unto itself. Tomorrow, it will be gone, and another one will take its
place. Each day has its own "spark," its own
opportunities and challenges; its own potential for greatness and also for
failure; the possibility for new blessings and also, heaven forbid, for curses.
Once the day is done, that spark is gone forever, and with it, all the options
that were open to us just that very morning.
It’s
not just that we have a choice in life whether or not to follow God and bring
blessings into our lives, or the opposite. It’s that we have the opportunity
and duty to do so every single day. It
doesn’t matter how righteous I was yesterday. I need to choose God all over
again today. In the same way, it doesn’t matter how miserably I failed
yesterday; it is a new day, and I can choose God today. My Friends,
choose God today and every day. The psalmist reminds us, "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Ps. 118:24). Make it count!
Amen!
