LIVES IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

in sc-v •  6 years ago 

Live in peace without worrying about the future. Unnecessary worry and imagining the worst of scenarios will strangle your faith. Only God know what will happen to you The truth is that you're not even owner of the present moment, because even this one belongs to God. A) Yes who lives according to His will.
Every day there is enough with what God gives you to do ... no more or less is expected of you. Who are you to say to the Lord, "why are you doing this to me?" He is the Lord ... let him do what seems good to Him. In truth, you do not need to add your wisdom and your plans to His wise and good plan. Eating the fruit of your own wisdom is always a bitter experience. God allows this to show you how unpleasant it is to ignore His guidance. The future is not yours yet ... maybe it never will be. And when tomorrow comes, it's probably different from what you had imagined.

It is not enough to separate yourself from the ways of the world. You must also let humility be forged within you. The separation of the world it means not directing the course towards external things. When humility is formed in you, you will direct your course away from your own nature. All trace of pride must be conquered. Your pride in thinking that you know a lot about spiritual things is more dangerous than being a billionaire. Pride helps you believe that you are important to a much more subtle way.

Put aside your own interest, and simply let the will of God unfold around you.
Everything He does is for your good. Adore without having to see and know all. Keep up the good things you do, since you feel you have to do them and you can do them easily. Avoid things that distract you from Christ, and be careful that all your extra energy does not get you in trouble. Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.

Wanting to live in the future is only a fantasy and fantasy is not a reality, but the present is real, alive, active and important. To ignore and lose God's purpose for me today is to disable my future as well as to neutralize the beneficial lessons of the past.

We can only become what we are right now. For that reason we must focus our thoughts on the now. At this precise moment, since it is the only real thing that we have.

Today, I will not serve the clock, but instead I want to serve and operate on God's timeless plan. I need to be aware that I must not live from the past or only dream of the future, but that it is necessary to live clearly in the present time.

I must not cling to the past because then my life will not be able to see clearly today and I should not live only in the future because I do not know what God has prepared for me.

"So do not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow He will bring his eagerness. Sufficient for each day its own evil. "

Various studies determine that our thoughts are approximately 70% in the past. The past acts as a filing cabinet in which we archive all the data that helps us to develop at present. It serves as a learning method that allows us to face similar situations. But sometimes it does not allow us to live in the present.
It has happened to all of us that our thoughts are interrupted by memories of the past. We become martyred with our experiences, reliving again and again all those harmful events that we have experienced in the past.
We regret the evil we did, what we have not accomplished, what they did to us, and what we could have done much better. This kind of thinking apart from being sterile, only leads us to personal suffering. The past can be a heavy slab that prevents us from walking in our present, as long as we allow it.

Do not ignore this ... That for God, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day ... These words remind me that God is not imprisoned in an itinerary or agenda. How many times to be enslaved to my agenda have I put aside what God has wanted to do in me, for me and through me.

The agenda of our Lord Jesus was: "Do the works of the one who sent me. He did not do what he wanted but what his Father wanted him to do. I must not forget this today.

Today, I also need to remember that God does not publish his agenda, Except when he considers it, therefore, Today I must live by faith.

We all always turn to our past. Sometimes we do it to be able to rediscover ourselves, sometimes to remember everything we have lived, and on some other occasions, we do it to know who we are. It is true that everything lived in our past, has its impact on our present, but we must also be aware that this past is not totally real, since it is built by our perception of it. The past gives us a certain identity, but by no means does it define everything we are today. But sometimes it prevents us from living in the present.
