Today

Why is it that we all struggle thinking about today? I think as a society we are so concerned with what will be happening tomorrow, or after we finish this. We are looking ahead so much that by the time we reach there we're no longer looking for it, but to the next ahead.

We are missing out on what is happening right now, today. I usually feel this way when I start counting down to something. I focus on that task that I often do see all that is happening around me. Take a birthday for example. Growing up kids count down the months, days, hours, and minutes until their birthday. It's usually because of presents or a party.

During their focus on their birthday they miss all the good things happening around them. This is true for adults as well. We become focused on task and miss out on ways to either help people or authentically enjoy them.

So I guess my challenge would be Matthew 6:34 New Living Translation.

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today."

Take each day as its own and conquer each day individually. Focus on the great things of each day and cherish each day.
