would you have waited?

"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." - Pablo Picasso

what are we willing to put off till tomorrow? what are we doing today that we think it can't absolutely wait? what if tomorrow never comes? what if today was it? would you have done something different? would you have waited to care for someone in need? would you have waited to be the friend you claim to be? would you have waited to show your parents you loved them? would you have waited to reconcile the broken relationships? would you have waited to reconcile your relationship with God? would you have waited to truly rid yourself of your old life? would you have waited to give your life back to God? would you have waited to share the Love you have found? ... would you have waited?

Also, read this from deeper devotions today:

Moses was far deeper into the desert than you or I will ever go. He had the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders. It would have been easy for him to turn around when the whole assembly was threatening mutiny. It would have been easy to give up on God, to curse the day he was born... to even take his own life. It would have been unavoidable without the cloud by day and the fire by night. It would have been impossible apart from the ever presence of God.

But God was there. And He’s here today. His word to you is the same.
"My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest." - Exodus 33:14

When was the last time you heard something like that from your Lord? When was the last time you were honest enough to ask if He was still there? I challenge you to stop complaining about your "desert" today. Stop long enough to fix your eyes on that column of fire ahead of you. He is near. He is listening. His presence is with you and longs to give you rest.

It's always good to be reminded of His constant presence, and the fact that He always know what my heart and soul needs =o)
