The Fresh Bread of God's Will

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Our Right Now God

My goal is to live in my faith for this precise moment. Looking into the future distracts me from the here and now and what God has for me to do right this minute. Do you have long term spiritual plans that take up most of your time and prayer? Well, drop your sail and look at what God has surrounded you with at this exact point in time; He will tell you what He has planned for your future when the time is right! Don’t worry about what is to come, or what has been, concentrate on the present and listen to God’s voice right now.

Embracing our Ever Present God

Richard Forbes

Do we live our faith in the moment, or is our relationship with God based on what He has already done, or what we want Him to do for us tomorrow? Do we spend so much time in the past and dreaming of the future that we allot little time to what He is doing in our lives right now? There is a verse that we often use to settle ourselves when we are facing troubles, and to strengthen our trust in the fact that although God has done wonderful things in our past, that He will handle our future troubles. We use this verse to overcome our worry about tomorrow, but if we pause here, and read carefully, we will see that, although it speaks about our troubles, it is actually telling us to live in relationship with God right now! Our relationship with Him has a history, but it is more than that, and if we place so much emphasis in what we want to do for Him, or we want Him to do for us, then we will neglect the most important part of any relationship… the embrace, the kiss… or in other words… living in our love, our joy, and our togetherness, right now!
