“This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
” But I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling.” Philippians 3: 13 & 14
Today is now. Tomorrow may never come. Yesterday is gone forever. Each day is special in its own way. We must take the time to take a step back and rejoice in the opportunities that our God has given us to enjoy this great earth that he has created. Yes, evil does exist and throws troubles our way. But we must understand that our Lord has given us an escape route, His name is Jesus Christ. Yesterday is gone forever, so why concentrate on what once was? Tomorrow may never come, so why dream about things that may never happen? However, today is here at our feet and we should rejoice that our Lord has given us the chance to celebrate our time with him here on earth. Our future is in Jesus. Our future is our hope of everlasting life with our eternal God in heaven. As we look forward to that day, we must forget what our past once was and concentrate on the now and what a life in Jesus will bring us in the future. We are all running in the same race. We may take different routes and face different obstacles, but the race is the same. We all want to cross the finish line with success and joy as we break the tape when we finish the final inch of our race. Even though we have many struggles in this life we must focus and continue to concentrate on pressing forward and not looking back at our past. Our future is now with Christ Jesus and our duty is to reflect his actions in our lives. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
