time.
It’s easy, to obsess about the past and to long for the future. But, it’s here in the present that we have the only moments where time touches eternity.
Choose how you spend it .
If your thoughts float between the past and future and never stop in the present, there is so much we can miss. The beauty of following the Lord absolutely holds so much in both past and future—in what He brings us out of and what He promises to come. But what about here? What about this moment?
Maybe you have a strong call on your life and you’re on fire for Jesus—ready to go and do work for the kingdom. Maybe you long for a marriage, a child, a new job opportunity… a deep desire you’ve brought before the Lord. The space we rest in, of the “not yet,” and the “wait.” Has immeasurable value. How loving is our Lord that He would take this time to place you in preparation for what’s to come?
What is it to sit back and abide in the Lord? Instead of obsessing about what’s to come, the question you could begin to ask is, What does He want to do with you in this moment before the next? It is our choice in how we spend what limited time we are given here on earth.
How will you spend it? Tomorrow isn't promised, but we have this moment—and in this space, what could the Lord do in your heart? Don't hold back for later. Don’t put off the intentional time you spend with the Lord or people you love. Don't close your heart against the intimacy and healing He holds for you.
Whatever tomorrow holds, you have time to be with the Lord today.
Choose wisely.
