I had a random thought today: “Does the way we live out a day (24 hours) represent how we’re living out our lives.”
If we procrastinate today over the long haul are we procrastinators? We simply live either in the past or the future, but rarely the present. I know I’m guilty of this. I have my eyes set on the horizon, but often fail to watch where my feet are stepping. And the sad fact is, God is here in the present to walk with us. If we’re living in the past or the future we’re missing out on Him here and now. I know I miss out on God too much.
Someone once pointed out to me that God refers to himself in the OT as “I am”, not I was nor I will be. It’s the present tense. Which does seem to imply we should be living in the now.
Now if I could only DO as well as I TALK!

Joyce Meyers talks about that in her magazine this month – Enjoying Everyday Life. Someone asked her what the best day of her life was and she said it could be this or that but instead she says its today as each day is a gift from God and we need to treat it as such.

I guess it’s true, unless today we change.
