Hebrews 3:13

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 6:34

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

One of my more troubling questions is when my wife asks “Do you have any plans for today?”

She should know by now that my answer is to seek and do God’s will.

I don’t always know what that might be because I have a Lord that rules and reigns from His heavenly throne. A command may come at any moment according to the Father’s grand design.

Until a new command is given I carry out my last order.

Luke 13:32 And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.

It is always today, tomorrow never comes. Learn what it means to have a third day.

Hosea 6:2

After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.

Let those who have ears hear.

Ephesians 2:8–9 (ESV):

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Many interpreters (especially in Reformed theology) understand “this” (the Greek neuter touto) as encompassing the whole process of salvation by grace through faith, so that even the faith itself is part of God’s gift. Others argue the gift primarily refers to salvation as a whole, with faith as the means of receiving it. In either reading, the text stresses that nothing in the process originates from human merit or independent ability, which excludes boasting.

A gift is useless if it is not opened and used.

James 2:26

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Philippians 2:13

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Galatians 3:5

Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—

Faith is issued to us to accomplish the will of the Father which begins with hearing God.

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

John 14:21

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Using the faith that God gives us produces gratitude, joy, and love for the giver.
