there’s not a better time…

do you have a tendency to take tomorrow for granted?  “there will always be time to spend time with my kids.  right now we’re just trying to make ends meet.  once we reach a certain economic level then i’m going to spend more time with my husband/wife.”  right!  what starts out as a temporary condition ends up as a permanent lifestyle.  people are going 100 miles an hour, bringing in the bucks trying to survive and then once they have them, there are no relationships left.  if you only had a week left, how would you spend it?  what would you do with your husband, wife, children, friends?

GOD says, live each day and each week as if it were your last.  don’t get morbid about it and not plan for your future.   but you can only live right now.  that’s what counts.

the number one way we presume on tomorrow is credit buying.  an undue amount of credit buying is presumption on the future.  “we can afford it.  things are going to get better!”  that’s presumption on tomorrow.  live each day as if it were your last.  james says you don’t know what is going to happen.

what have you been knowing that you ought to do and you know is the right thing to do but you’ve been putting it off?  “…someday i’ll get around to it.”  james says, “do it now.  right now!  don’t wait.”  “someday i am going to give my life totally for GOD.”  why not right now?  there’s not a better time.

just a thought from the front porch…
