Today is the Day

Psalm 119:60 - "I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands."

Have you ever talked with someone who you knew was a train wreck waiting to happen? The decisions that they were making in their life, compounded with their total disregard for God's standards had sent their life in a spiral? I've spent a lot of time recently with folks like these. And, I am constantly reminded of just how close all of us are to making similar poor choices.

If you are one of the people that I speak of, let me encourage you to take David's approach from Psalm 119:60. David recognized that now was the time to get things right with God. I spent time with two people a few years back in the span of one week. One was in the midst of a drug addiction and recognized that he needed help, the other was also in the midst of addiction, but didn't care. The one who sought help, found healing. It didn't happen right away. In fact, he went through rehab several times. But, he is well now. The other? Still struggling with addiction and has almost died on multiple occasions. The latter always wants to put God off. The former realized that without turning to God, healing would never begin. Today is your day to find healing and hope. Run to Jesus. He's waiting with open arms to bring you freedom.

Dear God,

Thank you that you are still the God who heals. Help us to run to You. Help us to run to your desires. Help us to follow you.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
