Switchfoot

I have recently been turned onto the band Switchfoot and my favorite song is "this is your life". In the lyrics they say "are you who you wanta be".

That song speaks directly to me. It makes me think about the man I am and the man I want to be. As I have said before I am trying to become a man of integrity....

In the song they also say "today is all you got now". It is a great reminder that I need to focus on today and let tomorrow take care of itself. I too often think about everything but what is in front of me.

When I think of "today is all you got now", I think about what if I did everything during the day to the best of my ability. Just like the verse I memorized (1Corinthians 10:31). It is such a simple concept to do everything to the best of your ability, but human nature sometimes says "good enough".

Good enough.... Where are all the areas of our lives we are saying "good enough"? I believe God is saying "is it"? I think HE is saying I know you can do better, will you? I know I often hear Gods gentle whisper when I say good enough and unfortunately I don't always listen.

God give me ears to listen to your whispers. Give me the desire to live for today and no longer accept good enough. Amen.
