TOZER DEVOTIONALWed, October 13, 2021Doing Today What Ought to be DoneAltogether apart from the prophetic expectations of devout men, there is the familiar fact of death itself. Of those Christians who had died, Paul said simply, "Some have fallen asleep." What a vast and goodly company they make, those sleeping saints, and how their number will be increased this year. And which ones among us can give assurance that he may not join them before all the days of the year have run their course?Since we know not what a day may bring forth, does it not appear to be the part of wisdom to live each day as if it were to be the last? Any preparation we will wish we had made, let us make it now. Anything we will wish we had done, let us do it today. Any gift we will wish we had made, let us make it while time is on our side.VerseAnyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.James 4:17ThoughtDoing todaywhat ought to be done, that is wisdom. That is wise expenditure of todays so that the last day is welcomed not feared.PrayerLord, may I spend well the today you have given me. Only You know how many more there will be.
