Have you noticed that whenever you are compelled to forsake this
world and completely live for Christ, all of a sudden it's chaos,
noise, everything to resist you? The enemy does not care if you
can repeat a verse once in a while, or read a 5 minute
meditation. What he does stand up and takes notice of is the
saint that makes a deeply heartfelt commitment born out of
conviction to draw near to Jesus. He wastes no time to use what
is at hand.   He will work to distract and cause delays
and bizarre hindrances that rapidly increase. He will cause
things to happen from the moment you wake up to incite stressful
thoughts, and away goes your peace, and he rules the day. It
seems as though you have to fight for every second you are trying
with all your might to get away with Jesus. 


You see, Satan understand the value and power of a day.
  If Satan can keep you focused on tomorrow, next week
and as far away a year, then he has won a great victory of your
loss. Each day that you are given on this earth you will never
live again. With the setting sun, so goes that day forever in the
written annals of heaven there forever. There is so much
happening in the world today like no generation has ever seen.
Satan has people running from one thing to another trying to keep
up with tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes, they have in a sense
already lived it, and they are seeking for tomorrow again. All
the while the day is spent in folly, rudderless searching, and
over-investment in world news. The hours add up to days, and the
days add up to weeks, into years of forsaken time.  


Then when the pureness, and richness of the eternal word is
spoken they nibble on it like a snack, then run back into the
carnival of this world. Like Jesus said, "The Son of Man must go
as it is written of Him." In like manner, the nations and
governments will go as it is written of Him as well. Be careful
what you are spending your day in, what you are giving your
thought life over to or it will swallow you up. Remember that you
are given a day at a time to live. Live in each day as if it were
your last. How would you want to be remembered? How would you
conduct yourself? What would you do or not do? So much is lost
living in tomorrow. Abide in Christ on a daily basis, and let Him
be your Great Shepherd. You will experience so much and grow like
the cedars in Lebanon, or as the Lilies of His valleys. "Today IF
you will hear His voice..." listen to Him. "The day is thine, the
night also is thine" the Psalmist wrote. That means your days are
His days, and you belong to Him today, tomorrow and  into
the "Perfect Day" of eternity.
