Deuteronomy 29:4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

Matthew 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Things change, God does a new thing in the New Testament. We have changed, evolved, if you will allow me to use that word in this way. This week we will discuss how man has evolved and to what end.

Ever play Pictionary? You are given a word and you draw clues for that word. Sometimes you can draw a picture everyone can understand. Sometimes you don’t. This week I am going to do just the opposite. I will use words to try and describe what the Lord has shown me.

I see things in the scriptures that I can relate to in my life. The technical term would be to appropriate, to take to myself. How you relate to scriptures or appropriate will be determined by you spiritual eyes and ears. What God shows you should relate to your experience, your need. Those will be different from mine. So if you do not see what I see, do not get frustrated.

We grow in the Lord. What we do not see today, we may see tomorrow. What we hear today may not take on meaning until later. If it doesn’t, that is OK too. What is important is that you are looking and listening for the Lord, not me. If my words can paint a picture for you, praise the Lord.

Ready? Come back tomorrow and let’s get evolved.

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I think it was easier to say that back in those days. You had a Roman soldier with a sword in front of you and you had to deal with it. Travel from Rome to Israel by land took months. Travel from Israel to America took over 1400 years.

Today we can fly from America to Israel in about thirteen hours. A nuclear warhead can make it in about three hours. Hey, but not to worry, we can track those things by satellite, so we can fret for the whole three hours before it explodes. So worrying about tomorrow seems ridiculous since the world can end today.

Does worry fix things? I have my own theory about how we got into this mess we all live in now. We worried about tomorrow and forgot to take care of now. We wasted the now back when it would have done us some good. Too late, can’t go back and claim a do over. It doesn’t work that way.

So now we have more to worry about, more problems with fewer solutions. We have tried everything to fix tomorrow except take care of today. If we really want to fix tomorrow, then let’s prepare those who will be living in it after we are gone. We will never fix tomorrow but if we raise up Godly men and women who can take care of that now moment, then when tomorrow comes, they will deal with it in the now.

Do not tell me it is too late. That is the defeatist attitude of the devil who distracted you from your responsibility towards today in the first place. I do not know what I will have to face tomorrow, I can only see what is in front of me this day.

I’ll see you tomorrow if tomorrow comes, but for now, I’ve got things to take care of today.
