Living Right Now

Don't worry about tomorrow.  It's going to be taken care of  by itself:  
Jesus
If you turn back the camera lens from the words Jesus told us above, you will see he is talking about how we focus our days... about how God takes care of even the little birds and such... and about how we prioritize.  Birds, flowers and other creations simply abide daily in the Creator's love and care. Everything else is pretty much handled by God.  They don't last long... matter of fact... neither do we, when you think about it.  But God cares about them and for them.

Where we get "wrapped around the axle" is when our little gods (possessions and the tyranny of time) actually govern who we are, what we are, what we become and, therefore, what we do.  The end result is anxiety erupts within  us, and we then speed up.  As we speed up, adrenalin gets to flowing.  So we become more anxious, more hurried an more worried. Then the more hurried/worried we are the more behind we get ..... well you get my drift about serving these little idols.

The point of all this is that Jesus (You know the one who invites us to come unto him and He will give us rest) ... Well He simply says "Trust Me! Abide in me...  Right here and right now live in this moment.  Change your focus today on WHAT is important. Change your focus on WHO is important.  Live by faith in this moment and  NOT in the future, which God alone controls,  and I will change your level of anxiety."  

Give this some thought, and follow it with action.  I think you might be surprised what is going to happen.  Then...

Be Blessed 2day ... Especially 2day.
The Only Day You Are Guaranteed.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
