Today and what will you do with it?

What I do today is important because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it. – A.M. Wells, Jr.

Of the man who fell among robbers and the Priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan – I think only the Samaritan had a good day that afternoon. AMEN!

Every day comes with a great number of things that try to command our attention and energy, but the ultimate result of what we do is up to us. Each day has just as much opportunity for good as it does for evil. The key to what we do and how well we do it will depend on the attitude we bring into the work. If we have an eternal perspective we will “work at it with all our heart” for we know we are doing a work for the Master, who rewards us abundantly. A good way to look at each day we’re granted is from a retirement perspective. If we were to be called home by God today, would we have enough to retire on? I understand we can’t “work” our way into heaven, but He did tell us to “store up treasure in heaven.” If our heavenly portfolio isn’t where we’d like it to be, praise God for today’s opportunity to work on it.

Until Monday……
