Managing Today

This is for me.  And for you, dear Mama.  And probably a lot of others, too.


So where does today find you?  What are the circumstances of your life?  Are your emotions stretched to the limit? Is physical affliction taxing you or a loved one?  What fires are purifying your faith? Whatever our situation, God calls us to live one day at a time.  Again, quoting our Savior, we are not to be 'anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own' (Matt. 6:34).


Whether your particular challenge is physical, emotional, mental, or a combination, the strategy of preparing, planning, praying, and proceeding will help you manage life's demands--one day at a time.  Then, as you proceed through each day, you will experience God's love in very personal ways as you discover His complete provision.  you will witness a daily miracle as you find God meeting you in the circumstances of your life and giving you the strength you need when you need it.


God does indeed enable us to live according to His instruction to focus on today.  With Him, you and I can successfully climb the mountain of today, leaving the mountain range of tomorrows to tomorrow.  And the peace that comes with knowing that we are following God's guidance day by day, moment by moment, frees us to better love God with all our mind.
