Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

This verse reminds me that I am called to take action.  Every day I’m given a new opportunity to move forward in the Lord.  It’s always my choice!  I can live in yesterday and miss out on today or I can faithfully move forward into all that God has for me.  I choose to move forward.  I choose to live today for what matters.  Praying that my eyes will ever be focused on Jesus and that I will live to make an eternal difference in this world.
