Live in the Moment

“Live your life now not tomorrow, live your life in the moment” – this phrase is on a picture in my bathroom. I bought the artwork because it went well with my bathroom décor, but now I can see that God wanted me to buy it for more of a reason than that it went with my color scheme J  He knew I would need a reminder every day to be “all there” in every moment He gives me.  I will confess that I have let many moments slip away because I was simply too distracted or busy or wishing for the future.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it is bad or sinful to think and plan for the future God has for you.  (Trust me, I am ecstatic about the future coming of the King! Each day I wake up I hope it is the day the Lord returns) I just know that God has given us time on this earth for a reason and He wants us to be present for it.  We are to live and glorify Him moment by moment.  We should be alert to the Holy Spirit within us in every moment throughout our day. I know it is HARD. That’s because Satan would rather have us distracted, anxious, stressed, or crazy busy than have us alert and ready to do the Lord’s work. Don’t just take my word for it though..Read Luke 12:35-48 to see what Christ has to say J
