What are you doing today?

What Are You Doing Today?

God has given you today, what are you going to do with it? Take your mind off tomorrow and leave yesterday behind - where and what has the Heavenly Father called you to today?  

Matthew 6:33-34 (HCSB)
But seek first the kingdom of God  and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

God has established that He will take of you. He has provided so the worry can leave your heart. You have been freed from it. Your schedule has been cleared. Where have you been called today so that you may seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness (right doing)? What is holding you back?

Hebrews 12:1-2 (HCSB)
Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God's throne.
 
We know that sin can hold us back. Take this time to claim His promise of forgiveness:

1 John 1:9 (HCSB)
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

What about that weight that holds you back. A weight is not necessarily sinful, but it can hold you back. The Greek word used for "weight" is also used for "anchor." How do we run with an anchor? 

Somebody else may have put that anchor there. You now have to decide whether to drag it or to lay it aside. Do not embrace resentment for this anchor, but embrace resolve to keep your eyes on Jesus to go where He has called you today. Seek His righteousness (right doing) and rejoice, for there is joy in doing right in obedience to our great God.

Don't skip church today - be with your brethren today.
Listen and apply to the pure Word of God given to You today.
Praise the Lord with all your heart!

"This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!"
