God wants us to obey Him in the present moment.

My very special time of day is early in the morning… with the quiet dawn, my first cup of coffee, and a conversation with the Lord. But so many times my mind either wanders to the “what ifs” of the future, or the regrets of the “would of, could of, should ofs of the past. It’s then that the Lord gently reminds me of the importance of the “here and now” of the present day. Jesus wants us to focus on today…for we can’t change the past, and we don’t have knowledge of the future…so having anxious thoughts about either one accomplishes nothing. Instead, His desire is that we order our priorities correctly, by focusing on how we may serve Him today…for this unique and special present day we will never have again.
