For the sake of clarity, it seems appropriate at the outset of this discourse for me to comment on the specific meanings of "unfoldment" and "today."

"Unfoldment" means to reveal, to happen or, as expressed in the idiomatric phrase, come to pass.

"Today," as used in this context, refers literally to a single day, any day, consisting of 24 hours, 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds.

What had not happened in all history may happen today. What may change glory into a catastrophe or life into death may happen today. What began the day with sorrow, weeping and hopelessness, may turn it into joy, hopefulness and magic.

For what didn't, couldn't, wouldn't, happen, yesterday or any of the yersterdays of all existence is happening or may happen today.

From a human perspective, today is characterized by uncertainty, upredictableness, and unpreventableness of what is or will happen during any given day. Human action, as is true with any other action, regardless to its nature, will only serve to support, not interfere with, the unfoldmenrt of today. Some people refer to this conceputualization as fatalism. I call it providence.

Be that as it may, the unfoldment of today declares in no uncertain terms that what is, is, and what is to be this day will come to pass today.

The aforementioned suggests three things worthy of our acceptance and embracing: (1) accept that you do not know what today will bring, (2) be ready, through faith, for whatever happens today and (3) live today to the fullest, each hour, minute and second. For the full day may not be yours to experience.

Acknowledge each day as did the Psalmist who declared:
     This is the day the Lord has made:
          let us rejoice and be glad in it.
                                    Psalm 118.24
