The teacher of a Bible class that we attend one morning a week, sends out an email devotion, that I read each morning. This morning it concerned my responsibilities toward the day in front of me.
Today is the day I am to be concerned with. Not the day or days that come after it.
Now does that mean that I just need to sit back and see what falls into my lap today? Is this just a form of apathy that says "whatever"? Does that mean not making any plans for days that lie ahead?
Or does it imply a patient waiting on God to show me what I need for today and what I need to do about it? Is waiting an action verb? Can it include some planning ahead?
It seems to me that living today should be my active involvement in the things that God puts in my life today. It means keeping my eyes open for situations and people that God puts in my path this day. It means taking care of those things that He calls to my mind that need to be done today. It asks the question, "What do You want me to do, or consider, or meditate on, or take care of today?".
It can also include planning for some things in the future. Not worry about, but plan for as God leads.
"This is the day that the Lord has made, let me rejoice and be glad in it"
