You may be familiar with a Latin phrase, “Carpe diem”, which translated, means “seize the day.” It is commonly used to refer to an attitude justifying spontaneous and often unhealthy actions that put little stock or concern in the future. It is essentially living to today only, making the most of the present rather than worrying about the future. Although our sermon will steal the phrase “Seize the Day” for its title, we will learn from the text of Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 that truly seizing the day in a biblical sense requires one to most definitely have a regard for the future and particularly the One who holds our future.
