TODAY!

“Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’ ”

Hebrews 4:7

Can you hear God’s voice today? Or is your heart so full of yesterday’s pain and tomorrow’s uncertainty? It is only in the present you can enjoy the gift of God. Only today is yours.

If you examine your life, you will see that all the worries, concerns and anxiety you had about tomorrow did not actually come to pass. 

How much time do you waste in worrying so you cannot live in the present?

Yesterday is history, today is opportunity while tomorrow is mystery.

But how many of us trapped by past pain and gripped by anxiety of future uncertainty are truly able to grasp the opportunity of today?

Only today is yours. What will you do with this moment?

Will you listen to the voice of God – the voice of love, the voice of freedom, the voice of hope, saying?

“Now is the day of salvation!” (2 Cor 6:2).

Love frees us in the present.

Learn to live today.

GOD FIRST

18 April 2024

“Let’s take a lesson from David who was ready to be humiliated in his own eyes, so that God could be honoured. Ask yourself: Where does honouring God appear in your list of priorities? Do you thank Him for all that He has done in your life, all the way long? While men look at the outside, God looks at the motives of the heart. Instead of worrying about the opinion of others concerning you, let the motive of your heart each day be to honour God before yourself.”

THE SACRIFICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

6 April 2024

“There is no time to do what is right. We must set our heart to obey the Word of God, all the time. God’s kind of lifestyle calls us to do what is right in the sight of God at all times, even though it is contrary to what we naturally want to do. Choosing to do what is right is a great test to the flesh.

What is the sacrifice of righteousness? Choosing to do God’s will rather than our own. When our flesh says hate, God says love. It takes sacrificial love to love your enemy and to pray for them. These are the weapons of righteousness. This is the sacrifice that Jesus looks at and rewards. Even though that might not be a grand, or outward sacrifice, it is what Jesus values.”

LIFE ANEW

1 April 2024

“When we talk of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are talking of the rare opportunity He has given to all believers to experience a new beginning – a situation in which every dead area of our lives receives life anew.

We are dead to our past and alive to our future. Sin’s power over us is broken and we now put on Christ’s new life: we live in Him, move in Him and have our being in Him. Herein lies the significance of resurrection.”
