What holds you back from living in the present? Today is a gift we have from God (that's why they call it the "present"). To hold the joy and opportunities it holds due to regret over the past, or dread of the future is not God's will for us. Listen to this devotional to find out how to live in the "now" season of your life to have more joy and peace! Today's Verses: ~ Hebrews 11:1 AMP "Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things (we) hope for, being the proof of the things (we) do not see and the conviction of their reality." ~ Jeremiah 29:11 AMP "For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you, 'Says the Lord, plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." ~ Isaiah 43:18-19 AMP "Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert." ~ Philippians 3:13-14 AMP "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have make it my own yet; but on thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the (heavenly) prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
