Dale Carnegie said, “One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon — instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.”
When Paul said, “Now is the day of salvation,” his words were not addressed to the lost. He was writing to believers (“fellow workers,” he called them in verse 1), reminding them of their mission, of the price Jesus had paid for their sins, of the new life that was theirs in Christ.
And he urged them not to wait a moment longer to begin living life to the fullest. “Be reconciled to God,” he said to his fellow workers. “Now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
The same can be said for you and me.
Stop waiting for your “life” to begin, for everything to fall into place.
Your life is now.
Today is the day of God’s favor.
Today is the day that God’s wants to bless you.
Today is the day that God wants to use you.
What kind of roses are blooming outside your window today, and how you will begin to enjoy them?
