Today should not be all about preparing for tomorrow.
Even when executing plans for a future event, there is release in doing the thing that is immediately before you.
The people around or those who come to mind need encouragement and prayer. The issue is, moving through the present moment with a thought life that lines up with the Word of God.
In order to line up with His thoughts, there has to be a taking in of His Word. Christian radio and television are not enough. Church is not enough.
In actuality, we prepare for eternity by striving to enter into the Sabbath Rest (Hebrews 4) and that means living each Today in obedience and looking toward eternity. If we take Him at His Word, we follow Him. We look for Him.
Soldier of The Cross, be willing to live in newness. And He must reveal to you what that means for you. That happens by prayer.
Tell Him. Today.
Aloud.
