Living in the moment is not easy for me. I have a tendency to want to think about the future more than I need. The only day I am assured of living is now. Tomorrow is not a sure deal. One of the great lessons of life that I have had to remind myself of is that I must live in the moment. If I don’t I may miss some of life that is right before me. My spouse would like to have me in the now more. I try not to but there have been times when I have been on vacation and allow my mind to wander back to work. Hence I spoiled my own good time.
When Moses asked God what was His name. God said I am. God is in the now and calls us to be in it too. Today I am going to focus on today. I may make future plans but always I must realize that all my planning is if God wills it. In a way life is to be lived not planned. This week I am going to ask God to help me live more in the now.
