Let us reach forward, as Paul tells us in the same verse, to what lies ahead and enjoy the agreeables that God has in store for us today and tomorrow. Let us blot out others' transgressions and our disagreeables right now. Every day is another chance and charge to become a new character. We have another opportunity to change from Saul to Paul, from Jacob to Israel. Physically we do not change, of course, but it is our motives, our principles and our habits which change.
Eternal life starts today.
Pat Nordman Send a note to Pat Nordman , the writer of this devotion. We have such a perverted and sinful tendency to concentrate on the bone and forget the delicious meat of life. He had lands, he had houses, and factories and stocks, Good gilt-edged investments, as solid as rocks. A few hundred here, a few thousand there. For the little home church in the village close by He planned a new building with spire so high, And chimes to be heard from miles upon miles, And deep crimson carpet all down its long aisles.
