Some2day

Fear is a powerful poison but it’s not the most dangerous toxin when it comes to the core of our daily life, as well as our plans for the new year.

It’s a surprisingly peaceful looking word that actually ruins more plans than any other obstacle.

What Apocalyptic dragon is this? What demon is lurking just outside our calendar/scheduler/agenda, ready to be used and overused?...

...

...It’s the word “someday.”

- Someday is where most of us store our dreams.

- Someday I will straighten up my life.

- Someday I will start a business.

- Someday I will be more involved in church activities.

- Someday I will let him/her know how I really feel.

- Someday I will go on that mission trip.

- Someday I will lose that weight.

Someday, someday, someday…

If people would say, “I will never accomplish this or that”, the finality of that would shame most of them into some action. But they don’t - instead they’ll believe the deceit of “someday”. Are you one of them?

Esop, the Greek philosopher and writer, tells a story of a man who had been away on a journey and had then come back home. He strutted about town, talking loudly and at great length about the brave deeds he had accomplished in the various lands he had visited. In Rhodes, the man said, he had jumped such a long jump that no man alive could equal it, and he claimed that there were witnesses who could back up his story. A bystander then remarked, "Hic Rhodus, hic salta" - in translation: Alright! If you're telling the truth, here is your Rhodes: go on and jump right now!

 Today is “someday”.

Please, scratch out the word “someday” from calendar. It’s wrong. It is not Monday or Tuesday or whatever day it says.

Today is someday and we should know that every day, our actions determine if this will be someday or just another ordinary day. I don’t know about you but my New Years’ resolution-prayer is that SOMEDAY = TODAY for the entire year.

I choose someday to be today.

I choose that this is the day that the dreams of tomorrow for me, my family and my church are supposed to begin.

I choose not to hide the hope in a future that will never arrive. It’s here.

I choose to believe God's promises not someday but right here and right now 

Today is someday.

What are you going to begin today?

Have blessed New Year and keep going strong for He is strong!
