\"\"Many people are anxious about dying, though it would profit them more to be anxious about living well instead. \u00a0Indeed the best reason to think about death (memento mori<\/em>) is to think about the value of life (memento vivere<\/em>). Likewise many people are anxious over the prophesied “End of Days,” though it would profit them more to be anxious about walking their present day in the Presence of the Lord (Psalm 16:8).<\/p>\n

In the Gospel of Matthew we read these words of our LORD Yeshua the Messiah: \u201cTherefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble\u201d (Matt. 6:34). \u00a0Soren Kierkegaard comments: “If there is no next day for you, then all earthly care is annihilated. When the next day comes, it loses its enchantment and its disquieting insecurity. If there is no next day for you, then either you are dying or you are one who by dying to temporality has grasped the Eternal, either one who is actually dying or one who is really living… The one who rows a boat turns his back to the goal toward which he is working. So it is with the next day. When, with the help of the Eternal, a person lives absorbed in today, he turns his back to the next day. The more he is eternally absorbed in today, the more decisively he turns his back to the next day.\u201d \u00a0Amen. May God help us live for Him today. \u00a0Today is the day of salvation; today may we hear His voice.<\/p>\n

The walk of faith is one of \u201choly suspense,\u201d trusting that God is on the other side of the next moment, \u201cpreparing a place for you\u201d (John 14:3). In the present, then, we live in unknowing dependence, walking by faith, not by sight. For \u201chope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he sees?\u201d (Rom. 8:24). This is the existential posture of faith – walking in darkness while completely trusting in God\u2019s daily care. Our task at any given moment is always the same – to look to God and to accept His will. This is where time and eternity meet within us, where God\u2019s kingdom is revealed in our hearts. It makes no sense to worry about the future if the Good Shepherd tenderly watches over your way (Psalm 23:1-3).<\/p>\n
