This is the Day: From Couch to Callng
Scripture
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Main Idea
Tomorrow is a complete unknown. If we are waiting for just the right time and circumstances to begin something new, we may never start.
There is no such thing as the perfect start.
Hebrews 4:7 tells us that God ‘planned a special day. It is called “today”.’
We may not know what today holds, but God does
PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK
God knowing what we do not is how we can have faith. Faith that the God who made us, called us, and equips us is the same God who knows what is ahead.
Matthew 6:34 tells us not to worry (be anxious) because God has tomorrow already taken care of
PROTECT THE PRESENT
Matthew 6 goes on to tell us to ‘live one day at a time’.
To live in the present.
It's ok to acknowledge our struggles we are carrying -tired, fatigued, heavy mental load, sadness, etc.
Borrowing worries from tomorrow simply steals from today. Steals our joy, our hope, our motivation, our purpose and our productivity today
CHOOSE TODAY TO START
Today is the best day to start.
Don't let your purpose get lost in the never-ending land of tomorrow.
For faith to grow, it needs to be exercised.
God's best for you is found in moving toward his calling
STOP WAITING FOR THE PERFECT START
Discussion Questions
1) Name something specific you are feeling called to do in 2026
2)Think of how you will start; is there anything causing you to pause? How can you move past this 'pause'?
3)Make yourself accountable; write it down, share with someone who will ask you about your progress, pray your commitment
Summary
God has our very best in his heart. We know from one day to the next, that we don’t know the specifics of our lives upcoming.
God knows.
Not knowing can leave us wondering, worried, and anxious.
This can cause us to delay, procrastinate, stall, or paralyze.
When we fixate on the unknown, we limit God’s ability to produce his beauty in our lives.
If we fix our hearts on what we know, this is faith.
What we know is that God's heart desires the very best for us.
This allows us to let go of the anxiety of the unknown and step out on the firm footing of God’s faithfulness to us.
