Right Here - Right Now!!!

Matthew 6: 25-34



As I was reading my devotions this morning and the teaching, at http://www.frcliveonline.blogspot.com/, I read on through this chapter of Scripture, and it occured to me...



How much time do we spend worrying about 'tomorrow'? I know I spend way too much time worrying about what the future will bring?



"What will happen with...?" "What will happen if...?" Do you know what I mean? I know this scripture passage so well, and yet, I still am guilty of worrying...



I guess that's the battle with my humanity and my faith - because deep down inside, I actually KNOW God will take care of tomorrow... I know this with a complete certainty that comes from experiencing it in my life time and again! He always does, always has and always will!



So why do I worry? Nothing is impossible for God - there is nothing that's too large for HIM to handle! And it hit me - right there in verse 33:



"But seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness"



Lord, please help me to spend all the time and energy I would normally spend on worrying about tomorrow on living in the moment and in each moment, seeking Your kingdom and Your righteousness in what I am doing right here, right now...
