Living Purposefully

I woke up this morning and wondered what my day would hold. I didn't have many plans yet, and I was excited when I thought of all the things I could do. But I was also unsure, worried that I would waste this day. Will I be diligent? Or will I give in to laziness?

I know my tendency, to choose what is easiest over what is best. I can't live the way that I'm called to live in my own strength. I pray fervently, that I will serve the Lord (and not myself) moment by moment, in dependence on Him.

And I don't want to just live each day in order to finish it. I want to live it well, with a purpose. I see how precious time is, how quickly it's speeding by. I watch the seconds tick away, knowing they will never return to be lived again. I have one life. My days are numbered. Could this day be my last? Am I living like it is? Because one day, it will be.
