Today Is The Day

I am sick an tired of people saying God just doesn't work the way He used to in our churches. He is very much identified as the God of today in scripture. He has not changed one bit, but He is evermore the same.

-He's the God of All-Time!
Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

-He speaks on a daily basis, but you have to listen to hear His voice.
Hebrews 3:7 "Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “ Today, if you will hear His voice..."-If you want to hear what He says you must soften your heart.
Hebrews 3:15 "...while it is said:“ Today, if you will hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
-He has designated today as the day He will deal with your situation and provide answers.Hebrews 4:7 "...again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “ Today, if you will hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts.”
-Today He lets you know that you belong to Him.Hebrews 5:5 "So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “ You are My Son,Today I have begotten You.”

Today is the day you need to praise Him for what He's done for you. Today is the day that you need to act on his promises.

James 4:13-15 "Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”
