For many years I have quoted a dear man of God who had a tremendous impact on my life as a young minister, Dr. Charles Cookman. Brother Cookman would always say, "the best is yet to come". I found myself quoting that statement hundreds of times over the years. Recently, I have come to believe and begun saying, "the best is here now"! So much of the time we are "waiting on God". Well, maybe He is waiting on us; waiting for us to take Him at His word; waiting for us to discern His present will and desire for our present circumstances; waiting on us to "step out of the boat"; waiting on us to walk by faith and not by sight; waiting on us to share the hope that is within us with others; waiting on us to "do" the previous things He put in our heart; waiting on us to "be" the expression of Christ to a lost and dying world; simply stated, He is waiting on us!!!!!
If we are always looking for the best to come tomorrow or the next day we may very well miss the great thing the Lord wants to do today. He is a now and on time God. Your time is now; your season is now; your destiny is now; His grace is sufficient for what He has called you to. Rise up and see what the Lord may do!
The Best is Here Now!!!!!
