progress
noun | ˈpräɡres |
forward or onward movement toward a destination: the darkness did not stop my progress | they failed to make any progress up the narrow estuary.
• advance or development toward a better, more complete, or more modern condition: we are making progress toward equal rights.

Are you moving forward and onward in your spiritual journey? Are you advancing toward a better and more complete faith? God has given the gift of this day. [Ps 90:12] [Eph 5:16] We can use this day to progress in our walk with Him. To get to know Him. To faithfully serve Him. To worship Him. To trust Him. To diligently seek Him. 

Or we can squander the day. We can waste it in profligate living. We can concern ourselves with trivial pursuits and devote ourselves to sinful behaviors. We might enjoy those passionate pleasures for a season, but sin never satisfies or fulfills in the long run.

verb | rəˈɡres |

1 [no object] return to a former or less developed state: art has been regressing toward adolescence for more than a generation now.

• return mentally to a former stage of life or a supposed previous life, 

Today you will progress or regress. You will advance or return to a less developed state. How you choose to use this day, what you choose to do and not do, how your time will be invested, will progress or regress you spiritually. Progression or regression. Advance or retreat. You don't remain static. 

This day is a gift. What you choose to do with this day will move you closer to Jesus or further away. May we all progress in our faith. May the kingdom of God progress through us. May we always make progress in getting closer to Him who died to free us from sin. May we advance in our knowledge of Him taking full advantage of this day.
