Seize the moment! How do we do that? What activity or activities represent a wise use of our time? How do we balance life? How do we establish priorities?
I remember a sermon I heard a long time ago. It was based on the last few verses of Matthew 6. Seek the kingdom and his righteousness first. Today is sufficient, tomorrow will have its own problems.
Today is all we have. We have today–yesterday is gone and the record cannot be rewritten. Tomorrow is only a promise today. “This is the day….”
Today is all we need. Today we can seek the kingdom and righteousness, regardless of how full our lives may be. Everything God desires of us today can be done today. No need for procrastination. Do it today.
Today is all we can handle. Some people drive themselves crazy (figuratively, or even literally) by worrying about yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. Tomorrow will bring its own unique set of challenges and problems. Handle today and tomorrow will be easier. Handle today and yesterday’s difficulties will fade.
This is the day! (Psalm 118:24)
