Is It Worthwhile?

So, what's on your schedule for today?

Perhaps you're going to work and planning to spend some time with a coworker during your lunch break. Maybe you'll be sitting in your home office for hours, or you already know that you won't have time for yourself because you'll be shuttling the kids around.

You can either get upset now about things even though you don't even know how they'll turn out, or you can look forward to the day with confidence and be excited about what God can unexpectedly make possible!

You have these two options. And it's better to expect that God will make the unexpected happen today than to expect that everything will go as you anticipate.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." (12:12 NIV)

Sometimes we forget how wonderful God is and how anything is possible for Him because we forget to include Him in our everyday life — in every moment. He desires this so much. And more...take a look at this verse:

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing." (John 15:5 NIV)

"Apart from me, you can do nothing." (John 15:5 NIV) Wow. This means that everything we do without Him is simply a waste of time.

Let's not lose time on meaningless things, because TODAY we could make a big difference.

That's true whether you're sitting in a home office today, driving your kids around, going from one doctor's appointment to another, or lounging on a beach on vacation.

Every moment is a gift from God, especially when you let HIM guide your steps.

Would you like to live that consciously today? Don't do anything without Him, because you're simply better off with Him!

You are a miracle!
