“You are a steward of every moment, of every talent, of every gift, of every resource that God has given you. Choose wisely what you do today!” [Paul Washer]
I came across this quote recently and it reminded me of something James wrote in his letter.
James said it this way. “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” [4:14 NLT]
There is an old year behind us and there is a new year ahead of us, but what we really have is just today. There is no guarantee of tomorrow. That became clearer after my recent hospital stay.
I am trusting God that the new year has great things for me. I am praying for opportunities to share the glories of God. I am praying for the energy to walk through the doors God places in front of me. I am praying for a focus that is not on my difficulties, but on my Savior and LORD.
But I am also aware I only have today—this day January 14 2026 – and that I need to choose wisely how I use it. I need to make sure that every talent, gift, and resource God has granted is used for His glory. Amen & Amen
