Today is all we have

In Luke chapter 12,  we read of the rich man who had so much wealth and had been blessed with such an abundance that he didn't know what he was going to do with it. He decided that he would tear down his old barns and build bigger ones. He decided that he would eat, drink, be merry and live the life of ease. But, he didn't know that he would never enjoy it.

Luke 12:20 tells us that GOD calls him a fool and tells him that that very night his soul would be required of him. The rich man didn't realize that all he had was today.

Today's word is a saying/quote that I remember from some time back, and that is not verbatim but is my paraphrase: "Today will never come again. Be a blessing. Be a friend. Encourage someone.Take time to care. Let your words bring peace."

How often I have done things or said things not realizing that it could very well be the last thing I ever do or say. Or, it could be the last thing the person I did it to or said it to would ever see or hear. Sometimes, we lose sight of the fact that today is all we have. I, personally, seem to live like I know I will have time to make it right. I pray I always do.

I know the parable of the rich man that I mentioned is more about not giving GOD the credit due, but it also reminds us that today is all we have. Make the most of today!

Be Blessed,
