Don't Lose Today!

Why is living in the present so hard? Or is it just me? This is a real question out of a raw heart. Probably one of the most challenging things I face and ironically not just today but for as long as I can remember. Here is my thought process If I prepare for all the things that COULD happen when they do I will be ready. Here's the reality, no matter how much I prepare I'm NEVER ready!!! God is really dealing with this one and I imagine I'm not the only one. We don't even live in a society that lives in the present. We are always consumed with tomorrow. My battle has been realizing the difference of preparation for tomorrow (which I do believe we are called to do) and being so consumed with tomorrow we loose today. If this is a vicious cycle on a daily basis every opportunity is lost! "You must discipline yourself to live in the boundaries of today" Jesus Calling Devotion. This is my new "must have" thought. I'm probably going to have to hang it on every wall of my house and plaster it on every window in my car, but I don't want to miss the opportunities of the present.
