What about TODAY? (facebook series)

Questions followed Easter. An angel at the tomb of Jesus questioned the women, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" The women were thinking about their yesterdays-oh, what could have been. The disciples asked Jesus before he left, "When will you restore the Kingdom to us?" The word, 'when', tips off an unhealthy fascination about tomorrow or at least, 'we want back what we lost!' Any time we are preoccupied with either yesterday or tomorrow we can miss what God wants to reveal to us TODAY. Last night I read on people's facebooks, "not myself anymore"; "blah"; "bad attitude today".."trying hard to believe". This is just a small sample. Know that the presence of God is at arm's length-- only a prayer away. My prayer for you today is, "Storm through souls, God: wake the sleeping, strengthen the weak, raise the dead parts in them and open ears and hearts to hear and feel you as never before." Amen! he still raises the dead!!
