Fellow Warrior,
Good morning! I hope and pray that your week went well. This is Isaiah, Cliff's son, and I will be writing today's message "Live in the Moment." Do you tend to plan everything you do before you actually go to do it? If you do, then you know its a struggle when things don't go as you expected. I have trouble with this as well and it's really about taking the time to enjoy the life you have right here, right now. Don't think for a moment that you are in control of your life and your environment. God "YHWH" watches all and directs everyone's paths. He observes people's lives and looks at their heart and actions to determine if they are a faithful servant. He encourages those to partake in the blessings that He provides after one has had the time to experience the challenges of life but still remain faithful to Him. God "YHWH" wants nothing more to see His children receive His blessing, but only if they truly have their heart for Him and only desire Him. Trusting and obeying Him will naturally become an ability of yours if you really want to be in His presence. Living in the moment not only allows us to avoid getting disappointed when expectations aren't met, but also allows us to realize how good our God "YHWH" truly is. It's just so powerful to think that we can trust in Him and know that He has our path laid out for us. There will definitely be bumps in the road, however, those bumps will be there in order to test your faithfulness and if you do stay faithful, you will have an even closer relationship with God "YHWH." I hope that this message, which God"YHWH" has used me to write, has penetrated someone's heart out there. I pray that you have a FANTASTIC weekend and that you continue to grow closer to God"YHWH.
“Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.”
