Here-and-Now

Luke 1:76-79 - And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Luke 1:79 (ICB) - God will help those who live in darkness, in fear of death. He will guide us into the path that goes toward peace.

Luke 12:25-26 - And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

Dear God, Help me to focus on TODAY. It is okay to make plans for the future and it is okay to reflect on the past, but You are saying to focus primarily on TODAY and to enjoy Your presence in the NOW. So help me do that. Thank You. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
