Be Present Today

It is a common tendency to become entangled in thoughts of “could haves”, “should haves” and “what will be” instead of focusing on the present issues. While it is a good practice to look at things in retrospect for self-reflection, lingering too long in the past can cause us to lose sight of our today, leading to an imbalance in our thoughts and actions. In the same, excessive thinking about what lies ahead, whether it’s tomorrow, the coming months, or even years can lead to a similar outcome.

This is why it is important to give your attention to what is happening right now and be present in the moment. Within the present, you can experience peace of God, which transcends all understanding and be blessed by the provisions He has already bestowed upon you to get you through the storm and to the next level.

"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes” (Matthew 6:34 MSG)
