Are we enjoying life by living one day at a time?. How many of us can answer positively for this question?. Well, I will answer no...because so far I could not live like that.
But let me tell you that life will be so sweet if we live for the day, and not think much for the future ahead.Please dont get me wrong...we need to plan for the future, but not keep worrying too much about the future and miss the present day.
Let me take you through an illustration. There was a boy who was very sad.One day an old man asked him "Boy why are you so sad?". The boy replied, Sir, I have too many worries. The old man looked surprised to hear that and asked the boy to list his worries...The boy went on to tell like this....I have to complete my studies well...Then I have to get admitted into a good university...Then I need to get a good job...Then I need to get a good wife...Then I need to have good children...and if when one of my children would be playing on the road with a ball...and if the ball goes on the road, and my child chases the ball..the car coming on the way should not hit him....
The old man was so puzzled by the answer of the boy and he gave some good advices to him..Well this story may seem so stupid..but I would like to open your eyes to a bigger truth inside it. Many of us are like this little boy one way or the other.
I want you to answer this question " What could the boy do to secure his future?".
He could do nothing...simply nothing...because whether he would live tommorow is not guaranteed and so is the case with all of us. We all build castles in the air..about future and forget the present. We all life for "tomorrow" and miss the beautiful "today".
"Yesterday" is gone. I am not sure whether"Tommorow"will be mine. All that I have is today to live by and I need to live today to the full extent.
The Bible says in Matthew 6: 34 "34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Let us try to live one day at a time. Let us not be worried much about tomorrow.Let us Trust God for tommorow..that is enough..we can be well assured that our life is secure because God is the one who created us and he has great plans ahead of us. Let us not destroy His plans by worrying about future.
Trust Jesus and experience a mighty change in Life.
