The Lord
is saying...I Am with you, I Am here and now. I Am not in
the future. I Am not in the past. Therefore do not live in
the past, you will not find Me there. Do not live in the future,
you will not find Me there. Live in the now. You will find
Me here and you will find peace and you will find hope for
the future. Live in today I tell you and you will find I Am
sufficient.
Matthew
6: 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow
shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof.
Its
when we take the burdens of tomorrow on and the regrets of
the past that our heart is weighed down with too heavy a load.
We are only given today, and we are promised that the Lord
will take care of tomorrow and He will use yesterday in His
redemptive plan. Spending the currency of today, that we have
been given, by sowing good seeds, making
right decisions and walking in the Spirit brings us into the
joy, healing and peace that God intended for mankind. God
made it simple... its us that makes it complicated.
What
doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?Micah 6:8
When
we make a mistake its important to learn from it but then
to leave it behind. Regret is a mistake in itself. The enemy
not only tempts us make a wrong decision but then milks it
by trying to get us to live in the past. Its important
to know that God isn't looking at what we did in the past
but what we are doing NOW. This gets are focus on the
job in hand, with today's work, which brings with it peace
and healing.
I
heard a story of a lady who was sent home to die of terminal
cancer. She decided to live her life just as if she had a
future. She got on with her everyday tasks even when it was
difficult, as though she was fully healed. Within months she
was fully cured. There is something about living for the present
that connects us to eternity and in that dimension is life
and life in all of its fullness.

A Brand New day
Thank you Lord for forgiving
me,
Not being all I was meant to be
You made for me another
brand new day
Its a treasure box to fill for you.
A foundation, so I can build anew
A path of golden promise for me you lay
For you give me a future
that is sparkling new.
Your cross stands between where
I've been and where I'm going to.
The success and sin of yesterday,
the tide has come and washed away.
So I can fully concentrate on you.
The sunrise brings another day,
Your blood has washed my past away.
Your mercies and grace
stand for me anew.
So I give a fresh start to all that may,
have failed or hurt me yesterday
Well! That's the very least that I can do.
For the past I'm grateful
Lord.
It states clearly in your word
You redeem it all
with your precious blood.
Safe in your creative hands,
weaving it in your wondrous plan.
And working all things
together for my good
