Don't Waste Today

Don’t Waste Today

“As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. Follow me he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.”
Matthew 9:9

In the previous devotional I discussed God’s calling, and the different seasons that God places you in during your lives, and that God has you now in the season and place He wants you to be. You need to always remember that you do not have the promise of tomorrow, only the reality of today, and that it is important that each of you do not waste today, and this precious gift that God has given you. He has allowed you to wake up this morning for a reason, so that you can serve and glorify Him with your lives. You can’t allow Satan to lull you into the belief that you will always be able to serve the Lord in the future, as our future is not promised to us. God has called all of you, no matter what age you are, to serve Him today, not tomorrow. You must remember that Satan wants you to believe his lie that you need to worry about yourself today, and that you will still have time to serve God later. God tells us that He will provide all our needs, and that we need to step out in faith and put our trust in Him. So if you are struggling with God’s calling on your life, remember that God has you right where He wants you to be for this season. Keep being the salt of the earth, the light to this world in your school, in your workplace, and be the living testimony that God wants you to be. This is why today I would encourage and challenge you to not waste even one day that God can use your life in His service, as tomorrow is not promised to you and you must not take it for granted.
