Moment by Moment

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6: 34

Are you a worrier? Do you find your mind meandering (or racing) ahead to the "what if's" that may or may not lie ahead?

Various organizations purport to have coined the phrase, "one day at a time" but it really comes from the Bible. We would avoid a great deal of anxiety and worry if we refused to anticipate what the future might hold (most often we are wrong).

God told Paul that His grace was sufficient. "...My grace is sufficient for you, for My strenght is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Why does it so often seem that it is not sufficient? Let me encourage you to memorize this statement: God's grace is sufficient for my reality not my imagination!!!

If we are worrying about tomorrow, we're on our own. Tomorrow is in our imagination until it becomes today. God's grace is not in our imagination. As we walk through tomorrow when it becomes today, God's grace floods our soul moment-by-moment, so it is vital in order to experience God's grace that we stay in those moments one by one.

Practice staying present and be amazed at God's abundant grace IN THE MOMENT.
