People without Christ are the ones I am talking about because
Christians live in
the world BUT are not of
the world. We are no
longer of the world because we are born again and now are part of the Kingdom
of God. We are called from living, acting, and thinking as the world, and to live, act, and think by
God’s principles.
Living in
the now to us means letting go of yesterday with all of its mistakes or accolades.
Yesterday is over and we learn from failures and success but they no longer
rule our life. I hear Christians go on
and on about what they should have done, did not do, or did do. Others constantly
live in the tomorrows with all of its unknowns and what ifs.
The only way
to live this life successfully is God’s way, living in the NOW. We cannot undo
or redo the past and we cannot control tomorrow. I am not saying we do not plan
for tomorrow both physically and financially. We live each day as if Jesus is
returning any moment, but plan till He comes. Jesus said So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said
to them, “Do business till I come”
(Luke 19:13).
I like to see the word NOW as a choice I make each day… N--N
eed O--O
bey W--W
ord NOW.
For the Christian the Word of God is our manual for
success. If we read it each day, we need
to obey it. Before
I was afflicted I went astray , but now I keep Your word
(Psalm 119:67).
Yesterday is over and tomorrow has
not come, but NOW is here.
Let’s wake
up each morning ready to live life full of HOPE which includes love, peace, and
joy! Now
may the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by
the power of the Holy Spirit
(Romans 15:13).
