Our scripture lesson today comes from the ninth chapter of the gospel according to St. John,

beginning with first verse through the fourth, reading from the modern English version of scripture.

Notice there these words, and Jesus passed by.

He saw a blind man from birth.

And his disciples ask him, Rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind?

And Jesus answered, neither this man nor his parents sinned.

But it happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

I must do the works of him who sent me

while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work. I'm speaking from the subject today of the

power of today, the power of today. The power of today. Today is all that you have to be

able to do whatever God has called you to do is just today. You do the part that you need to do

today and tomorrow will take care of itself. But it is being able to engage the moment right now that we are in, the life where we are. It's being able to engage the moment right now that we're in,

the life where we are.

It's being able to be in the moment.

Because when you're not in the moment,

you begin to miss the moment.

And the truth of the matter is this,

is that life is a collection of moments. It's just a collection of moments.

You keep collecting moments as you live. That was a Life Builders Creed that was written by

Dale Witherington, and this is just an excerpt from it that says, today is the most important day of my life.

Yesterday, with its successes and victories, struggles and failures, is gone forever.

The past is past.
