Today...

Matthew 6:34
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Focus on today. Make your NOW better. Take care of tomorrow when it gets here. These are the words of our Lord and Savior. We all to often get caught up worrying about tomorrow and worrying about yesterday. When today is really the only time we can change. 

A technique I have adopted is when I find myself thinking about the future OR the past; that is my que to get out the Holy Scriptures and begin reading and studying. That's when it's time to make GOD the priority in your life. We get caught up pursuing other interests. And, that's not good. We need to learn from our Biblical teachers and from Jesus; "SEEK ye FIRST the KINGDOM of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Our lives will look different from the lives of the nonbelievers around us. They don't NEED to devote the time and energy to getting to know GOD the way you and I do. AT the very least, TITHE our time. We want to study our Holy Bible, praise and worship our Lord. We want to live according to His plan. Walking the path our Lord and Savior laid out for us. It's going to cause you anxiety, sorrow, and pain. We have to withstand all that and be BLAMELESS! We need to give no offence in any thing. It's going to be very difficult to do. We have to make GOD the priority in our lives.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
