Heart To Heart

Live in the Now
Many people are waiting for that great day when Jesus returns before they enjoy the benefits God has promised in His Word. Thank God for that great day, but it’s important for us to understand that the Father wants us to enjoy all of His benefits today.

John 10:10 says that Jesus came that we might have life, and have it to the full. I like the New Living Translation of this verse. Jesus says, “ ‘My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.’ ” That word rich has a different meaning from what most people give it. It actually means a “full supply.” So Jesus is saying that He came to give us a life that is fully supplied. Hallelujah! That’s God’s promise for today!

Grab hold of what the Lord says in His Word. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day of healing and deliverance. Today is the day of protection and provision. Today is the day of favor and success with God. Not tomorrow, not yesterday, but today is the day He wants to move in our lives!

I encourage you, don’t remain in the regrets of the past or live in fear of the future, but live in the now. Live while it’s today and enjoy the full, abundant, over-the-top, blessed life that the Father wants you to have.

If you’re ready to live “today,” this month’s issue of The Word of Faith is the place to start. Dad’s article on page 14 will show you how to turn your finances around. And my article on page four will explain how every obstacle can become an opportunity.
