It’s not too late

Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
- Isaiah 55:7

There is still time for your neighbors and family members who have not yet accepted the Lord to come to Him and set their ways straight. There is time for you to receive the Lord’s love and forgiveness. If you have already decided to follow Jesus, now is the time to think about those around you who have not yet heard the Lord’s message of salvation.

God has given us a mission:

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
- Matthew 18:19–20

God wants to extend His mercy and forgiveness to all. He does not want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9), and He wants to use you as a channel of blessing to others. Be a useful instrument in His hands today. Pray for the people around you and look for opportunities to touch them with God’s love and mercy.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.
- Acts 13:47

There is a purpose

The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
- Psalm 138:8

There is a purpose for which you are where you are at this moment in history. You have something to contribute to making this world better. God has given you potential, and you must use it to bless the people around you and so that the name of the Lord may be exalted wherever you are.

Bring joy to those who are sad and a word of encouragement to those who are discouraged. These are very simple ways to bring the love of Christ to the people around you. You are here today, and God wants to use you for His glory, let Him guide you!

If you feel discouraged thinking that you have nothing to contribute, speak to the Father. Ask Him to guide you in His purpose for your life. Open your heart to His love and rest in Him. God will never abandon you, and He will guide you every step of the way. Trust your heavenly Father and do not forget that your life has a purpose.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Those Who Love God Must Obey

Obedience is one of the proofs of a child’s love for their parents. In the Bible, we see that God gave many commandments that we must obey not because God wants to control us, but because He wants us to have an abundant and blessed life. Those who obey receive blessings from the Lord!

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
- Luke 6:46

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today;
- Deuteronomy 11:26–27

There are many choices we must make every day: to tell the truth or lie about something, to help or ignore the needs of others, to speak well or badly about someone we know. Each choice gives us the opportunity to obey God and receive the blessing He wants to give us.

Choose to obey God out of love for Him. Remember all that He has already done for you, how He loves you, cares for you, and helps you. Decide to obey Him, even when it’s not the most popular choice. Pleasing God and living according to His will will fill your heart with joy and peace. His blessings will cover you as you walk the path He desires. Always choose to obey the Lord!
