"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." -Author Unknown
Who doesn't spend large amounts of time dwelling on the past, or worrying about what is going to happen in the future? (I know I sure do!) It seems like it is human nature to be dwelling on time that has ether past, or has not come. What would the world be like if everyone just focused on the current moment?
Yesterday is over and done with. Yes, it might be nice to think about the beauties that unfolded in it, but why dwell on all the pain it might have brought you? The past has well... Been lived, and no matter how much you might want to change it, you cannot, and you never will be able to. The part of your life that has already past has shaped who you are today. If little details of your past had been changed, you would be a different person.
The future is not here yet. No matter how much time you spend thinking about it, (or freaking out about it.) It's not going to change anything until the future becomes the present. Leave it in God's hands as a mystery that will unfold in perfect time.
The only moment you are in control of is right now. Sure you might have to do a little planning for the future, but there is not real need to dwell on it. Jesus wants to tell you something in THIS moment. Something he might not be able to tell you at any other moment. Which is why we need to be attentive to His presence and His glory here and now, in this moment. If we don't live in this moment, we might miss something very significant.
