for you do not know what a day may bring.”
If you walk, run, swim, bike or watch sports that do these activities, you have heard the term, “bell lap.” You know a bell rings, signaling to the athlete, “one lap to go.”
In life, do we hear a bell? Do we know when we are on our bell lap? Since none of us know the future or can predict what direction our life will take, we need to live in the present. God tells us to plan for the future but to live for today, for we know not what tomorrow will bring.
So, let us live for today. Let us serve others with a joyful heart. Let us begin our day in the Word thanking God for today. Let us love God and love our neighbors. Let us submit our plans to the Lord today, and walk according to His will.
