The Power of the Present Moment: Living Fully in God’s “Today”

 

The Power of the Present Moment: Living Fully in God’s “Today” (Hebrews 3:13)

"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness." – Hebrews 3:13 (Kingdom Study Bible)

   There is great power in the present moment. Too often, people find themselves trapped by thoughts tied to the past or anxious about the future. Depression arises from holding on to what has already happened, and anxiety stems from worry about what is yet to come. Yet the present moment is free from these burdens. When we pause for conscious, deep breathing, we anchor ourselves in the now, releasing past regrets and future fears. In this space, we encounter God’s presence overflowing with love, peace, joy, healing, and abundance.

   The presence of the Divine is always found in the present moment. Within that presence is fullness, fullness of joy, health, peace, and prosperity. Feelings of powerlessness often arise when we disconnect from this truth, living instead in memories or anticipation. That is why Scripture encourages us to “encourage one another daily” because it is only in the now that God’s power and gifts can manifest.

   Firstly, many people believe that today is not their day that joy or success must wait for another time. This limiting belief must be replaced with the declaration: “Today is my day.” Every day is a divine opportunity to express your highest purpose. Refuse any narrative that robs you of the power of the present. Embrace the truth that this very day is filled with divine opportunity.

   Secondly, some feel that certain seasons in life are not meant for happiness or prosperity. But the truth is this: every season is your season. Declare boldly, “This is my season.” Each moment carries purpose for growth, healing, and blessing. Waiting for another season to live fully causes us to miss the power God offers in the present.

   Thirdly, it’s common to think the right time to act or receive blessings will come later. Yet now is always the right time for healing, joy, and change. Affirm daily: “Now is my time.” This declaration awakens divine authority and creative power in your life. Postponing progress or happiness only delays the fullness of what God has already made available today.

   In conclusion, the present moment is where true power resides. Being fully present allows us to release the weight of past regrets and future worries. God’s presence fills the now bringing abundance, joy, peace, and grace. As we encourage one another daily, we soften our hearts and strengthen our spirits to walk boldly in God’s favor. Today is the day of opportunity and divine blessing.

Prayerful moment of gratitude and peace in God’s presence.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
