For Today

Trace Adkins - You're Gonna Miss This

I heard this song tonight on the radio on the way home from a great Red Sox victory at Comerica Park. It was just really encouraging for my mind and heart to just connect it back to some of the verses that I have studied recently. Sometimes I feel like I just so often dont live for the moment. I don't truly soak up the blessings around me and I often times just focus on whats next. But so many times in scripture God teaches us to be patient, to slow down, and to walk with Him instead of running through life with our busyness. I long to have that type of disciple to live only for today. Now thats not to say we shouldnt save our money for a rainy day or to be prudent with our planning, but I need to learn to not live for that. To have focused on my last month of college while it was still around instead of hoping to make up lost time with friends during the summer. To take advantage of every situation and to pack a full day (including quiet time), instead of procrastinating and truly wasting the time that God has given me. It feels just like throwing away blessings when i dont take advantage of what God is teaching me now in favor of what i hope He will teach me tomorrow.
