TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your
commandments.
Psalm 119:60, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Isn't it interesting how easy it is to put things off? We
plan on doing something. We have good intentions. We want to do it, but we just
think we’ll get to it later. “One day I’m going to start exercising. One day
I’m going to get my finances in order. One day I’m going to forgive that person
who hurt me.” The problem with this kind of thinking is that “one day” never
comes. There will always be some reason to keep delaying it.
Is there something in your heart that you know you need
to do? Maybe God has been dealing with you, and you keep putting it off. You
think, “As soon as I get through this busy season, then I’ll spend more time
with my family. As soon as the price of gas goes down, then I’ll start tithing
my income. As soon as my child gets out of diapers, then I’m going to get my
family back in church.” The problem is that good intentions don’t equal
obedience. The quicker you do what you feel down in your spirit, the happier
you’re going to be. Don’t let unfinished business keep you from God’s best. Step
out. Obey His voice and walk in the blessing He has for you!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for Your patience and grace toward me.
Search my heart. Lead me in Your ways. I choose to obey Your voice quickly and
honor You in all that I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.
