Satisfied with where God has me.

21 01 2009

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything, but don’t worry I’m still here.

Well, God has been teaching me to be satisfied with where He has me right now. I’m not sure why this is so hard for us sometimes. It’s like it’s ingrained in us to always look to where we are going, or to what is next (at least that’s how it is for me). When, all the while, God is calling us to be satisfied with where we are planted at this moment. Jesus speaks pretty clearly about being anxious or worrying about tomorrow in Matthew 6. He sums it all up in the last two verses when He says ,“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. I think it can be very freeing to only focus on the day at hand, or to just worry about where you’re at right now.

Does anybody have any creative ways that you stay focused on today and the here and now? Let me hear your thoughts.
