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).
