Stop Gambling Your Future: Redeem Your Time Today
There will always be distractions in life because we know from scripture that the agenda of the enemy is to steal, kill and destroy.Procrastination is a time stealer, and it simply means to put off intentionally doing something that should be done. I have been guilty of this often, and I have missed many wonderful opportunities, but I have seen the results when I don’t put things off as well. Reading about where we spend our time the last few days has been a real eye opener for me because I realize every day we are gambling away our future with the notion we still have lots of time while being distracted by unimportant things like social media, television, sports, text messages and the list can go on. Today I want to encourage you to look at what you are investing your time in and ask yourself, "What am I putting off intentionally that could hurt my future that I should be doing right now?" Once you have identified it simply decide not to put it off anymore; redeem your time!“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”Matthew 16:26 Be Nice. Grace Wins.

The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.

Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.

Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
