DAILY DEVOTION:
"Don’t waste your “NOW ” worrying about tomorrow”
1 John 3:2
New International Version
2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
The choices we make today will determine whether we will enjoy the moment or waste it by worrying. Sometimes we end up missing the moment of today because we are too concerned about tomorrow.
We are wise when we keep our mind focused on what God wants us to be doing now. It’s important to understand that God wants us to learn how to be now people.
For example, 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “Behold, now is the day of salvation” (KJV) and Hebrews 4:7 says, “Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.”
We will be more fruitful for the kingdom of God, and happier in our lives, if we will determine to live in the moment. Often we spend our mental time in the past or the future. When we don’t really give ourselves to what we are doing at the moment, we become prone to worry and anxiety.
However, if we will live in the now, we will find the Lord there with us. Regardless of what situations life brings our way, we will know that today—right now—is a part of God’s plan, and He will bring us through it if we will trust in Him.
The time you have now is valuable. Don’t waste your “now” worrying about tomorrow.
