Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Take Advantage
of the Present
‘The Word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.’-
Jonah 3:1
Today’s Insight
We spend too much of our lives in the junkyard of
regret. We focus on what might have been, could have been and should have been.
Maybe we think that by replaying it enough we can change the outcome. But we
can’t. The only thing you can control is what you do in the present. The more
you replay yesterday, the further you get from today’s opportunities. And the
further you move from today’s opportunities, the tougher the road back becomes.
Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going. And they wait for no
one, so you need to be attentive and grab them. They come in many forms, and
they can come from any direction. But one thing’s for certain: they can be seen
and seized only in the present. Whatever has happened in your life, has
happened. And since you can’t undo it no matter how hard you try, wipe the
slate clean and go on to what’s next. We all make mistakes.
Jonah’s mistake caused a storm that threatened the
lives of everybody around him, and ended up taking him all the way to the
bottom. But that’s not the end of his story: ‘From inside the fish Jonah prayed
to…God…And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Then the Word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time’ (Jonah 2:1 & 10-3:1
NIV). He’s a God of second chances—and third, fourth, and fifth ones too! ‘They
are new every morning’ (Lamentations 3:23 NIV).
Application
Today is a gift—that’s why it’s called ‘the present’. So repent of the
past, seize the present and start living again!
Parallel Verses: Rom 1:1 - 3:20, John 13:31-38, Ps 118:1-9, Pr 27:
23-27
