GROUND HOG DAY

HEBREWS 3:13 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

In the movie Ground Hog Day, Bill Murray plays a self-absorbed, cynical weatherman who gets stuck with going to Puxatawnie Pennsylvania on February 2 for the big Ground Hog Day celebration, a task he dreads. Worst of all, he wakes up the next day only to find that it's not the next day — it's February 2 again. He has to relive the day again and again and again.

Eventually he gets the day perfect: he saves a homeless man from freezing, he saves another man from choking in a restaurant, he catches a little boy who falls out of a tree, he changes a flat for some elderly women, and so on. In other words, he spends the day serving people.

Today is Ground Hog Day, and I'm guessing that all of us will only get one shot at it — just like we get just one shot at every other day. We have one chance to get today right; let's make the most of this opportunity. Let's spend the day serving others.

As the writer of Hebrews said, "Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." (Hebrews 3:13)
