What if you could travel back in time to 1926? And what if you attempted to describe to them what life is like in 2026?
Imagine their shock and disbelief when you tell them we can order—and receive—all kinds of stuff. On the same day!
You and I think nothing of:
- Same-day printing
- Same-day auto repairs
- Same-day dry cleaning
- Same-day teeth whitening
- Same-day house cleaning
- Same-day medical tests
- Same-day flowers
And of course, Amazon continues to flirt with same-day delivery on a growing number of products. But—back to our modern era.
In today’s economy, those two words, “Same-Day” are just about everybody’s favorites. As it turns out, God likes them, too.
In Genesis 17:10, God commands Abraham, “Every male among you shall be circumcised.”
Let’s not get too lost in the awkward medical side of things here. Instead, skip ahead to Abraham’s response recorded in verses 26 and 27:
That very day, Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Abraham did not merely consider, deliberate, or delay. He obeyed. That very day.
This is the kind of man or woman God favors, chooses, and uses.
Read this brief account yourself. You’ll discover Abraham heard, believed, and obeyed God. Immediately!
Lord,
I want to be a “that-very-day” kind of follower. Because “someday,” “sometime” servants are of little use in your Kingdom work.
Help me to:
- hear…
- believe…
- obey…
…that very day.
Amen!
