Living for the Minute

Right now its 3:55 pm, and all I am doing is typing. I can't be doing anything else- not gardening, shopping, eating...etc. I can only do one thing at a time- how about you? We have been encouraged to live this way, repeatedly- but over and over again we get hurried, and try to do too many things at once. The scripture that comes to mind is Matthew 6:30:

"What I am trying to do is get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving."

When we relax, and listen to God in His infinite wisdom- we are able to open the door to what He would give to us to do. And let me tell you this- anything done for God is better than anything we can do for ourselves. 

When we deal in God's perfect timing, we deal with supernatural results. Things that we humanly thought never could be possible. The very saying "God's perfect timing", should clue us in that our timing, well-sucks.

So don't be fooled by the question- "What do I do today?". Ask yourself the right question- the real question- "Do I believe that God is speaking to me, and do I believe that if I follow that still small voice- He will have His best for me?" 

Unquestionably! If The Holy Spirit is in you, He speaks to you- and you hear His voice! Start trusting the Lord, and listening. Read: Matthew 6 in The Message Translation for yourself- www.biblegateway.com. Don't be so consumed with getting- that you can't make way for God's giving- He loves you, and wants what's best for you! I started this in the afternoon one day, but I finished it at 1:18 am- on another day. God knows what is best for me, and as long as I allow Him to direct my minutes- I don't have to stress AT ALL! Live for the minute!
