Today's Scripture

Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Live for Today

Save for the future, plan ahead, be prepared. 

We get so wrapped up in the future, we forget to appreciate today. 

Not everyone gets to have tomorrow. Things happen, things change. 

How much time do we spend on the future or the past, that we waste the time we have today. 

Depression takes so much away from us. Worry uses up so much time. 
Looking into the future takes away from the present. 

It's now, in this moment we are alive. We much learn to live it. Even Jesus tells us to 'let go' of tomorrows worry and focus on the now - today.

Don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today.

Enjoy the moments, make the memories. Learn to 'let go' and live. Worry isn't going to accomplish anything except take away from your time now. Give it to God and let it go.

 Enjoy the moment.
Live.

God's Way

Let Go {Part 2}

You have went to the alter with it. You left it there. You let go. {Have you really?} You walk away.

Then something happens, it feels like it's going in the opposite direction of what you asked for.

You get scared, concerned. This isn't working the way you planned. This is not what you asked for.

This is going to mess things up completely. 

What happened? 

God, didn't you hear me, weren't you listening?

You feel yourself losing faith, the hope you had fading away.

Stop.

If you truly let go of it, you have to trust God and let Him work His plan - His Way.

It's like the curve in the road. You're heading north, yet as you turn into the bend you find yourself going south. Do you stop and turn around, or keep following the road. A curve to the left, then a curve to the right. Before you know it you are headed north again. You're out of the wood and into the prairies. You can see the horizon now, feel the sun on your shoulder. 

Sometimes we give it to God and we don't understand what happens next. So we bail. We snatch it back and try to do it our own way. What we want, never gets accomplished. 

You have to trust God, give it to Him and truly "Let Go". Let God have His way and follow His instruction. He will lead you to the right place. He will work it out, according to His Plan. 

Jeremiah 7:23 - Obey my voice, and I will be your God.

We can't see the future. We have to trust God and walk in the now. Don't worry about tomorrow, focus on today...

Proverbs 3:5-6     King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
