One at a time

"Guard your steps when you go to the house of God." Ecclesiastes 5:1. The vast majority of us are unable to give ourselves to one thing because we are too concerned about getting to the next one. We need to develop mindfulness and focus on the moment. If we don't, we will lose our footing or balance in life. We need to make a decision to live in the here and now, not in the past or future, because getting into yesterday or tomorrow when we should be living in today causes us to lose our anointing for today. We have to take one day at a time because that is the only way we are going to get where we are going. We live in such an instant society that we want someone to just wave a magic wand and make everything better. But things don't happen that way; change comes one day at a time. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34. Giving ourselves to one thing at a time is not just physical, it is mental and emotional too. When our actions and thoughts are not lined up in the same time frame, it makes way for the devil to snatch our minds away and take us off somewhere so that we miss out on what is happening in the now. We don't need to be anxious about tomorrow when we have all we can handle today. Even if we solve all of today's problems, tomorrow will always bring new challenges. Don't waste time being anxious when it isn't going to solve anything. Don't be anxious about the past, or tomorrow which isn't here yet. Live in faith now. Don't be fearful and don't be anxious.
