It Depends upon Today
Eph 5:15-20

A man claimed to be the most accurate fortuneteller in the world. A woman came to this fortuneteller and said she had only one real question about her future and that was, "How will my life end?"

The fortuneteller gazed into the crystal ball and then announced, "Your life will end when you die." No wonder he was so accurate.

The woman nodded and then said, "Yes, but will I be happy?"

"Ah," said the fortuneteller, "that has nothing to do with the future but what you do in the present."

He was right again. God's will is for us to choose to be happy this day and every day, to believe the Gospel, to cherish the truth that in all things God is with us and we can be victorious in any circumstance. That does not mean that we will not go through difficult times. It means that we will not let our circumstances determine how we look at life. Rather we will let our faith determine how we look at our circumstances.
