Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment (a 30-Day Devotional)

None of us knows how long we have on this earth. Sometimes, the days seem to pass by with little importance; at other times, we might feel overwhelmed by our experiences, whether they bring us happiness or sorrow. In the end, however, we allow our days and years to march on.

But what if we intentionally view each today as a gift from God? What if we considered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?

In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks us to grab hold of God's endless gift of time--past, present, and future--and make the most of every moment and every minute. For this gift from God is truly as boundless as the ocean. The act of living can bring us joy if we seek to listen to God, read His Word, and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Today Is a Verb can propel us to our destiny, to God's desire for us. As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful, and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome--the possibilities are endless.

Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Each chapter includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical application, and a daily declaration.

"This dimension of godly living...is not for the faint of heart but for all of those who have determined their lives will smack of the atmosphere of heaven," Carol says.

"If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage in the desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life," she says. "Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrant step toward the life for which you have been aching."
