IT IS NOT UP TO US

What will God bring us today?

Wonder?  Hope?  Assurance?  Satisfaction?

Today. 

Today is a work of God.  He will provide.  He will supply.

From our American heritage of being built upon appropriate motivation and accountable responsibility, we tend to believe the day goes the way we order it.  If we organize well, prepare well, and implement well....then all should be well. 

If not sensitive to such a possible misstep, our effective practices will become our god as we pat ourselves on the back for faithful activity as well as accomplishment.

Yet, today isn't up to us.  It is up to God. 

Our role is to submit to Him in worship and praise; a spiritual service of worship.  Our role is to applaud and to thank; not to arrange and promote.  We get to brag to Him about Him.

Today.

Today is about God; how He chooses to bless and how He moves about in powerful provision.

What is up to us is to give Him credit for His work instead of pulling attention away from Him by pointing to ours.
