TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16).

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Though that phrase was often used 35 to 40 years ago, I have not heard it used by preachers and public speakers in several years.  Nevertheless, the lack of use does not diminish the truth. Our time on this earth is limited, today is the day to begin making the most of it!

How can you begin making the most of the time today?  Begin with prayer and Bible study.  Our God is the only one who transcends time--He is the great I AM.  By coming into relationship with Him we avoid the things that are the great time wasters and the great time destroyers and can focus on learning the things that truly matter, having the relationships that bring blessing, and experiencing the adventures that are genuinely meaningful. God is the only one who can make more time for us, we do not have time not to pray and not to study His word!

When one begins a new day by asking God's blessing and guidance he can trust the events of the day to God, and he can believe that the events of the day have purpose and are meant for our good.  Our days may be difficult, but God will sustain us and bless us through them!

Our Father's Love,
Tom
