Let us learn to live one day at a time. Being anxious about what to eat, drink or wear has cut short the lives of many people. Anxiety and worry can lead to stress, hypertension and sometimes even death. Do not worry, tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Worrying about tomorrow is pointless because you may not live to see it after all. God supplies His children with daily grace. The grace to face the challenges of tomorrow will be provided at the right time.

Men lie to cover up their shameful actions or to escape being punished for their wrong doing. You may cover your lies so that no man may know but you cannot hide it from God. The Word of God says all unrepentant liars shall not escape punishment in hell fire. It is the truth and not lies that makes a man free. No matter how severe or threatening the consequence of your action may be, always speak the truth. 

What is having your attention, God or the unpleasant situation in your life? God commands us to look unto Him for salvation from sin, and deliverance from satanic oppression and all manner of sickness and disease. Your challenges are magnified when you set your focus on them. On the other hand, looking unto Jesus magnifies Him to reveal more of His majesty, power, glory and love. With your eyes on Jesus, you are sure to be victorious in the battles of life.

The story of the prodigal son and his father paints a vivid picture of what happens between the backslidden believer and the heavenly Father. God is yearning and waiting for such a time when the backslider will realise himself, arise and come back home. The moment he takes the first step, God will run to him with compassion to receive and restore him.

You do not have much time to waste. It will not be long before your pilgrimage on earth comes to an end. The Bible describes life as a vapour which appears for a little time, then vanishes away. Life is like a flower that blossoms at sunrise and withers at sunset. This world is not your home; you are here on a journey that will eventually come to an end without warning.
