Today is about passion and repentance. The church in this passage was not in trouble with God because they left the faith. They were in trouble because they became satisfied with the status of life they'd achieved. As such, they no longer felt the need to draw near to God because they were happy with where they were.

So now you are here. Today is the day you plan to seek God and pursue Him. You've set aside the time. You've planned accordingly and right as you're about to begin...your phone rings...you ignore it....but then you feel a grumble in your tummy and think you should grab a snack....and then you're cold so you grab some socks. And before you know it 20-30 minutes of your allocated time with God has eroded away. Don't worry, this happens to everyone. These distractions are the little foxes that can spoil your vine.
