Be in the moment

​“Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1)

We are beginning our week with another reminder of the importance of being present. So much time can be wasted putting off tomorrow what can be done today. So much energy can be expended being overly concerned about tomorrow when the Lord has let us know that he is the provision. In essence, let us not take tomorrow for granted, on one hand and worry about it on the other, robbing us of the ability to enjoy life today. 

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;" and I would count myself worse than a fool, if I would throw away my todays in the expectation of tomorrows, and rest on the couch of idleness today, because I thought the chariot of tomorrow would make up for all my sloth. No, beloved, if we love our God, we shall find enough to do, if we have all our tomorrows, and use all our todays too. If we serve our God as we ought to serve him, considering what he has done for us, we shall find that we will have more than our handsfull, let our life be spared as long as Methuselah's-enough for every moment, enough for every hour, as long as life may be. But putting things off for the future takes away our strength in the present, unnerves our resolution, and unstrings our diligence. Let us take care that we are not hurt in the present by boasting of tomorrow”. Charles Spurgeon

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:33-34)

Trust God and live life to the fullest in the moment.
