While most of think it means "seize the day", actually, it means "gather the day" but for all intent and purposes, it means the same. Check out Wikipedia for the whole story behind it.
Anyways, I’ve changed my blog title simply to reflect what many people don’t actually do. Seize the day. Seize the moment. Many a times, we pass by a chance to bring good and life to people. We also allow time to pass us by while we do nothing of importance.
Chances don’t come around very often. We have to seize the moment, seize the chance. When an opportunity comes knocking, seize it! Take it and make it yours. Someone has happy news, seize the moment to celebrate! Someone had sadness come into their life, seize the moment to be a friend in their time of need. A stranger needs help, seize the moment to bring kindness into their life. Your close friend starts asking question about life in general, seize the moment to tell him about the God who loves him and died for him.
God produces many chances and many opportunities to bring hope and life into someone else’s life. Everyday, we are confronted with situations where we can lift people up. Unfortunately, many don’t take the chance because of various reasons. It saddens me to think of the many opportunities spurned for us to do some good in this world.
Seize the day, make the day yours (or more specifically, God’s). Everyday, we are given a fresh chance to make something useful out of it. And yet, how many of us waste it by doing something meaningless? Do note, I said meaningless, not useless. Everything we do is useful in some way but unless we know the reason why we are doing it, we might as well have spent the time staring at the wall. In fact, sleeping would have been a better option because at least you got rest and get up completely refresh and ready to do something meaningful.
God has promised us all abundant life. Doing life His way will lead to success. However, success doesn’t come with tears and sweat. Neither does it come by doing meaningless things everyday. Thus, do things that lead towards success in God. Please know that simply doing something because God said so is meaning enough.
