Focus on the Present

Focus on the Present

 

You can embrace the present. - There's no need to play the "what if" game.

 

The past is gone, and no energy you expend will ever change it. The future is in God's omnipotent hands, so you're free to focus on the present. Your job is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, trusting Him to forgive the past and transform the future. God wants you in the present because that's where His grace will flow.

 

You can look expectantly toward the future - Even if you make mistakes today, God still controls your future. Walking in the Holy Spirit, you can live to the fullest, unafraid of making mistakes and unconcerned you may stumble into some terrible circumstance that takes you out of God's control.

 

Even when things appear to be terrible, you can trust that God is working out some divine plan through you. No matter how bad things get, God is still able to bring good out of it.

 

Praise God at any possible time and Look for God's hand everytime and Walk by faith in Him at any time so that you can see God's hand even in the most difficult of circumstances and He can work anything of you in your future for godly good.

 

Ask God what He wants you to do with this given situation (event or person). When He answers, do it intensively!
