Are You Enduring Today Just to Get to Tomorrow?
November 21, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I read some research by psychologist William Morriston who reported that 94% of the 3,000 persons he surveyed were enduring today in order to get to tomorrow.
Do you know anyone like that? Perhaps you are one of those.
Tomorrow, you’re going on vacation. Tomorrow, you’re going to get the house cleaned. Tomorrow, you’re going to start your diet. Tomorrow, you’re going to balance your checkbook. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.
The only problem is…tomorrow never arrives. When it gets here, it is today. And today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
ACTION POINT:
It is always today. Act accordingly!

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
