Today is Day 3 of the 7 Day Feast of Tabernacles, which is like a fall harvest festival, and it's a time to rejoice in the harvest. Tabernacles is a reminder that God is living within us, and he fills all in all.
Lately I have been thinking about mastering the moment. A big key to our walk with God is learning to become more present and aware of his presence, since he is tabernacling with us. It can be easy to become overwhelmed with our to-do lists, overwhelmed by all that needs to be done tomorrow or next week, overwhelmed by all of the demands of today, or even bogged down by reliving things from the past. And sometimes when we take action we are trying to speed through the moment, just to get to the next one.
Something that has helped me is understanding that I don't have to do everything at one time, just master the moment I am in. Then as we string together one moment to the next it helps us win each day. If you have some giants or mountains in the way, just focus on mastering the moment over and over again. It takes so much pressure of.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is tabernacling with us. And we are asking him to help us become masters of the moment so that we win each day.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
One of the best ways to practice mastering the moment is in our exercise. Instead of doing 8 reps think of it as 1 rep 8 times, and master each rep.
I am praying for you.
