Today is the Day

This is the day The Lord has made; let us rejoice & be glad in it. (Ps. 118:24 NIV)

Today has you read this, it is probably a pretty normal day.  Maybe you are getting ready for work, school, running errands, getting the kids to school, or numerous other activities.  Maybe you are in a hurry & running late & you think you'll find time for God later.  After all there's important stuff that has to get done now.  You check the news while you are getting ready & just more discouraging news.  You think "I wish someone would do something to make things better".  I want to challenge you today that I think that person is you.  That's right if you're reading this, I think you are to he part of the soloution.  How far must we get off course before we start standing up & being the difference? Are we guaranteed tomorrow?  Are we guaranteed that our freedoms will be here tomorrow?  We have relied on political parties, politicians, & other people who we're going to get us back on the right course.  Somehow I don't think they have succeeded.  It's up to us, the Christian people.  I believe we are at a crossroads.  Are we going to look at our kids & tell them we couldn't stand when we were needed to.  Are we going to say it was someone else's responsibility?  Are we going to tell them about how big our God is but this problem was just too big?  We have to lead by example.  We need to be on our knees in prayer.  We need to be leading our families in bible study.  We need to be out meeting the needs of others.  Are we going to put it off another day?  We're needed now.  Today is the day.  So as you go out today, what are you going to do to be the difference.  Quit relying on someone else.  God made this day for us to do the work, be the difference, live victoriously, & rejoice in this gift.
