The Privilege of Today

He is our help and our shield.

In Him our hearts rejoice, 

for we trust in His holy name. 

Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord,

for our hope is in You alone.

Psalm 33:20-22

Give your entire attention to 

what God is doing right now, 

and don't get worked up about 

what may or may not happen tomorrow.

Matthew 6:34

The Lord has been wanting me 

to be aware--continually-- 

that I am wrapped in His unfailing love.

My hope has to be Him, no matter what.

If I live with this mindset,

I can give my entire attention

to what He is doing right now.

I hate that I can so easily miss out 

on this God-breathed moment

because I am "worked up"

about what may or may not happen

tomorrow, or next week or whenever.

Today, Lord, I commit my trust to You.

Again. And probably again later.

I want to be so aware of Your love 

in the moments.

I am grateful for this moment;

today is a privilege.

I am mindful of the quote:

"Here ends another day, 

during which I have had eyes, ears, hands 

and the great world around me. 

Tomorrow begins another day. 

Why am I allowed two?”

~G.K.Chesterton

 I delight in the privilege of life 

You have given me today.

I roll every concern that I have about tomorrow

into Your hands and I embrace this moment.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.

Take delight in Him,

and He will give you your heart’s desires.

Trust Him, and He will help you. ~Ps. 37

Selah.
