Hope for Today

DAY 6 OF 7

Experiencing God TODAY!

What if you missed something TODAY because you were focusing on yesterday or pining for tomorrow?

Think about it carefully. There are those small, subtle moments in everyday life that brighten our TODAY, if we only allow ourselves to embrace them.

For example, I prayed this week, "God, please let me experience You again in the everyday, in just the 'normal' things."

Then when I went shopping, the cashier gave me a "look," talked about how bad she was currently feeling, and concluded by asking, "What do you do in life?" In a flash, I had a chance to tell her...and ended by handing her my album, Love is Louder, which is full of the hope this woman was so longing for.

I would've missed this moment if I'd spent my time dwelling on my past or wishing for that future day when there will finally be peace again in the world. I would've missed it if I hadn't asked God to do something TODAY! (see 2 Corinthians 6:2)

Don't miss what's possible TODAY because you're focusing on yesterday and/or planning for tomorrow.

Perhaps you feel you don't have the strength.. I can understand…this day and age demands a lot of us. But this strength is a gift, something that God very much wants to give you:

"But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil." (Psalm 92:10, NLT)

It's not just in the Bible because it was David's experience! It's in the Bible because God wants to give you this gift as well…today! So that you can pass something on TODAY!

You're a miracle!

Déborah
