Today Someone prays...
Dear Lord,
O that today we would listen
To the leading of God's voice;
He alone can guide us
And make our hearts rejoice.
Failing to be obedient
May bring others hurt;
When the needs of mankind
We selfishly desert.
Don't put off 'til tomorrow
What we can do today;
Another chance may not
Come our way.
A visit to a sick friend
Is easily achieved;
Who knows when we
May be suddenly bereaved.
Today someone desperately
Needs our love & comfort;
Tomorrow our sympathy
May give them no support.
A tempted friend in his struggle
Calls out for help from you;
Guide him from shame & sorrow
Through what you say and do.
It is today that we must tell
Of the great love of Jesus;
Leading others to Him,
He alone can save us.
Learn well the meaning of now,
Tomorrow may be a fatal word;
Many hopes and lives wrecked,
By not doing when we "heard".
Amen.

A Time for Everything
For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; 11)
So be obedient to the leading of God's voice.
