I’m going to start today’s post by asking a question: Have you been enjoying the moments that God has given you, or do you spend most of them worrying about the future and what’s to come?
“So, don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow worries about itself. Your own evil is enough every day. ”
Matthew 6:34
We live in a chaotic and very busy world. Many things happen around us and we are pressured in various ways, so this leads us to be anxious and concerned about what is to come. But is that what God wants for our lives?
Why do we care?
The Bible tells us (1 Thessalonians 5:23) that we are the fusion of body (soma), soul (psyche) and spirit (pneuma). Therefore, we can conclude that we are divided between what is heavenly and what is earthly. In our minds we have thoughts placed by God and coming from ourselves.
”And he said: What comes out of man, that is what contaminates man. Because evil thoughts, adulteries, prostitution, homicides, thefts, greed, mischief, deceit, dissolution, envy, blasphemy, pride, madness come out of men’s hearts. ”
Mark 7: 20-22
In this passage, Jesus clearly shows us that everything that comes from us (human mind) contaminates and disturbs us. Therefore, if we make room for carnal thinking, we will be increasingly concerned with things that do not matter and we will not be able to enjoy what God has given us.
God’s plans
“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Jeremiah’s text tells us about the wonders that God has prepared for us.
Now let’s go deeper: We know that our God is timeless, that is, He is not in a specific period of time, but in everyone at the same time. He was not created, He simply is; He is the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega (Revelation 1: 8). Just as the Word of God is also timeless. Regardless of the time we are living in, the Word will remain.
Therefore, if God and His Word are timeless, it means that we will not only live wonders, coming from Him for us, as we are already living. We have already experienced the wonders of God.
Right now we are living the best that God had set aside for our lives. We are exactly where God wanted us to be.
So …
So I want to ask you something, my dear brother or sister: stop any other activity you are doing and enjoy the moment that God has given you. Look around and give thanks for the good things (friends, family, animals, objects), give thanks to Him for another day of life, for your health, etc.
Enjoy what God has given you, for you are exactly where He wanted you to be.
Grace and Peace.

Thanks for this message, i needed someone to tell me to STOP and enjoy the moment, to thank God for all that He has done for us and for all that He has given us including young people like you Leo who serve the Lord in this way. May God bless you.
Good word. Bless you.
Amen, help me lord
Amen a love this
Wow amazing stuff. Thanks for the good reminder. Sometimes too much worries over shadows the goodness of the Lord. I will always try to remember that God has me in his beautiful plans.
Amen
Hallelujah!
I am at the point of things happening in my life and some things because of someone else are not the way there supposed to be and are wrong and not supposed to go that way. Reading this brought some uplifting g to me and made me feel better to leave it to the Lord because he knows what’s right and wrong and won’t lead me wrong. He is my good shepherd and he will take care of this lil sheep and won’t let the bad wolf devour me in the wrong pasture. Mmmm such a good feeling
God bless you brother. I needed to hear this
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the reminder, that we must give thanks intead of worryingq

“Therefore, if God and His Word are timeless, it means that we will not only live wonders, coming from Him for us, as we are already living. We have already experienced the wonders of God.”
You spurned a connection by speaking this. This is quite introspective of you.
Romans 1:20
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Time is weird in outer space. We see things that happen farther in the past, the further back we look. We can almost see the beginning now. For example, Beetleguise is dimming now and may very well go supernova in our lifetime to our visible eyes but if it does that means hundreds of years ago it did this. This is due to the fact that it takes time for light (what we see with our eyes) to travel and this time increases as distance does.
How amazing to be able to see God in such a way through technology and understanding. Thank you for sharing 😊💗
Thank you for reminding us to be thankful each and every day.
I suggest Keep doing this I believe God uses your resources to instruct many people. See I’m from Honduras and I needed to 👀 this message. Blessings my brother.
God Bless You!!!
May God continue to be the main focus of your desires, to be a minister and a witness to all in these last days.
Very grateful Sir.
Thank for the wonderful encouragement. I do have a tendency to worry about my health, maybe to much until I don’t really enjoy the fullness of the day as I should. But I do know that God is in control know matter what. He said He would never leave me nor forsake me. To God be the glory. Amen
♥️

Question: The word Amen hebrew- 3 letters is confusingly close to Amun. The Egyptian God of Death..And Tutenkamen. What do you think?
Psalms end with selah.. close to the French c EST la vie..I like it better
Kind regard,
A humble opinion. Correct me if I am wrong. Yawheh God bless his children everywhere and turn the heart and mind of the wicked man from error. Selah
John
I am impressed and thankful that an 18 years young man has such a clear sight of what means Believing and is joining the community that waits for HIS arrrival. It’s good to read that this longing is not only old womens stuff. 😉
