I wanted to build on the Devotional from yesterday about achieving happiness in our lives, and living for today. When the enemy can keep us either consumed with our past, or fearful of the future…we are oblivious to the present. We walk through the day unaware of the needs around us, and with no mindful attention to the blessings available. When we dwell in the past, it shows lack of dedication, commitment, and forward focus. (Luke 9:62) Isaiah 65:16 reminds us that all our former troubles are forgotten and hidden from God’s eyes…so if He does that, we must also. As for worrying about the future, this also shows lack of faith and trust in God…for anxiety is incompatible with trust. (Philippians 4:6) So today, fix your mind on Jesus and practice mindfulness in the here and now…refusing to let your thoughts wander to things you have no control over.
