Only in the present moment can we find our true power as human beings. Only in the present moment can we be really alive. Only in the present moment will we find our true connection to God – the source and ground of our very being.
Our past is our past. It is where we come from, but it is not where we live. Our future has not yet arrived, and truly, none of us are promised a future. All we are promised is what we have right now. This present moment is the only moment that is real.
Jesus is constantly calling us into the present moment. He warns us not to dwell on the past when he says “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). Alternately, we are warned not “be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself” (Matthew 5:34).
1 Chronicles 16:11 "Seek the Lord and his strength; seek His PRESENCE continually!"
