Today, This Day

And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. Exodus 14:13

This week appears to have several 'days' in it, which would seem an obvious and unnecessary statement until one sees all of them on the calendar. Today alone is Cinco de Mayo, Children's Day (in Japan), Thursday, and the National Day of Prayer. A few of us also had a special day earlier in the week where we turned a bit older. This is why I must include Thursday in the list as a reminder to myself of which day it is. This day could be something special in a similar way to what the Israelites and Moses saw back in the day. Today, this day, could be that day of salvation for many who do not yet believe. And we may enjoy the privilege of starting that with prayer to God our Father. Today might also see another defeat of a group not unlike the Egyptians for someone who believes in God and has not the power to defeat the enemy in their own strength. God, I believe, very much likes to be our salvation in every way.

Rejoice in the day and pray!
