” Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people or fret about their wicked schemes.” Psalm 37:7
” God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. So, encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11
There is no one on this earth who is guaranteed that tomorrow will arrive. We tend to live our lives in the future. We plan and decide what we are going to do tomorrow, and in the days ahead, without any idea as to what tomorrow will bring, or whether tomorrow will arrive for us on this earth. It is important that we live day to day. We are to encourage those around us and try hard to be a blessing to them all. We are to build them up and not tear them down. We are to encourage them and not discourage them. Even though it is sometimes very difficult we are to be a joy in the midst of others and not the rain falling upon their heads. We are to stay encouraged within ourselves and there is only one way for that to happen. We are to pray, praise and glorify our God in heaven. We are to invite the Holy Spirit in and when he arrives, we are to host him with honor, patience and love. We are to listen and respect his every notion and thought. It is with our God in heaven and his grace and mercy that we are doing what we are doing. It is his through his power and his decisions that we are living our lives each day. Yes, we do have the right to live them the way we choose, but if we are living in Jesus our decisions will reflect strength, wisdom, compassion and love for others. We will reflect the ways of Jesus himself when he walked this earth. Today is our future! There is no guarantee that tomorrow will arrive! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
