Celebrate The Now

by Raymund Tamayo

The Bible always prompts us to celebrate the now and today.

“Now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15).

God knows we should live in the present and He encourages us to make good use of it.

Let us forget the past (except for the lessons) and don’t worry about the future (but still prepare for it)!

Now, this moment, is a gift from God.

We can waste it with regrets over our past or worries about our future. We can squander it trying to outrun yesterday’s miseries. We can ignore it, lost in our wishful thinking.

It is up to us what to do with the now.

What are you seeking for in the future? A better life? A better job? Perhaps better health? Or better relationships? Better opportunities? Personal growth? Start right now!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, celebrate the now and stop procrastinating!

Embrace this moment, learn the lessons God requires of you now. Be faithful with the things God entrusts to you now. Let God’s presence sustain you through the now’s trials.

Rejoice in the now’s opportunities. Enjoy God’s presence now!

God said “My name is I am.” He didn’t say “My name is I was or I will be.” He is I am! He is now!

God has a great future for you, but you have to live in the now to get there.

You can trust God with His Word. He is mighty and faithful.

This is the day that the Lord has made, so rejoice and be glad in it! 

Celebrate this moment with God now!
