One simple daily decision

Morning: Psalm 18:1-20; Jonah 3:1-4:11; Acts 27:27-44

Evening: Psalm 18:21-50; Luke 9:18-27

‘Yesterday is gone; tomorrow may not be; but I have today.’ I copied this into a notebook during my adolescence. It’s clichéd but it gets me moving ... no regrets, no hoping for the wrong things, today is enough. When Jesus says, “Take up your cross daily and follow me,” he is not talking about momentous, life-changing, once-and-for-all decisions. He is calling me, whatever happened yesterday, simply to decide for today - that I will live not for myself but I will lose myself for others and for the world. One day at a time. One decision at a time.
