Thanking God for the NOW

Today on the way to work I prayed. I normally use this time to talk to the Lord because its just me in the car. Sometimes I will turn worship/praise music on and sometimes I will just talk to Him or just enjoy the silence in Him. This morning was no different except I just felt His presence in a more "sweeter" way. I was praying and I FELT Him listening. I know He hears us but there was an attentiveness in the spirit that just made me love Him more! I proceeded to go to work and all day I watched GOD. It started out with thanking Him for my NOW. The NOW that I'm in. The NOW that I might not be where I wanna be and doing what I wanna do. In the space of time I was in I THANKED GOD FOR THAT!!! I thanked Him for exactly where I am in my life today and for where I am not. I thanked Him for who HE IS and who He is to me. I thanked Him for the good and the bad and the ugly of my life RIGHT NOW because His Grace and His love is SUFFICIENT FOR ME. We're either always looking behind us or way in front of us. We're always setting goals and working toward them or either stuck in a past that is really not even relevant anymore. What about our NOW? Lord, forgive us! THANK YOU GOD FOR MY NOW!!! As I set goals and strive to become better and to grow and to do great things, help me not neglect being thankful of the NOW that you have blessed me with that will prepare me for my future and will strengthen me to let go of my past! Help us not to neglect you in the moment we find ourselves in between coming out of something and going into something else. Help us to be humble and to acknowledge you in every moment of our lives. Whether it be good or bad let us see you in it because, you are always there and you watch over us so lovingly, so closely. As I sat there and reflected on where my life was at the present moment, I smiled. I thanked God. And as a result of that, the atmosphere of my day changed. I went from the victim to the victor. I went from dragging to work to skipping to work. I went from faking a smile to giving a real one. GOD IS GOOD. Let's give thanks in the NOW. Be blessed!
