Today is the Day

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:12-19

Yesterday is tomorrow's past
Which is today forever to last

Because yesterday's future began today
Which was tomorrow yesterday

So tomorrow's future which is to come
Is really today because yesterday is done

Thus the past and the future today we live
For when one day is gone another God gives

Therefore today is the day of salvation
Not tomorrow's future or yesterday's past

And the reason that today is the day of salvation
Is because today could well be your last.

“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee:
behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) …”
2nd Corinthians 6:1-2
