4 Important Things To Remember About Right Now

by | Aug 15, 2019 | #revive2019, Encouragement

Right now is a pretty important place in time. It’s here, this moment, this day. It’s what’s happening now. And, there’s at least four important things to remember about it.

4 Important things to remember about right now:

1 – Right now is what we have.

This very moment is all we’re guaranteed. For years I lived for the weekend thinking, “If I can just get through today, the weekend’s coming!” I often found myself either living in the past or looking to the future. Living in the now helps us embrace this moment. To appreciate where we are and what we are experiencing right now. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, so let’s live today.

2 – Right now we can make a difference.

We can make this moment count. With the thoughts we think, with the words we say, with the actions we take. When we choose to make a difference right now, we radiate good in this world, and there can never be too much of that! Right?! Let’s treat others the way we want to be treated. Let’s offer a smile, a hand, a prayer. You and I are equipped to make a difference, right now. What’s one thing we can do?

3 – Right now God is in control.

This may be the best news all day. In this very moment, no matter what you and I are going through, God has everything under control. And the next moment, and the next. There’s nothing we need to fear or fret about. Consciously trusting in His sovereignty (His supreme power and authority), you and I can relax and rest in God’s care. He’s got this, friend. He knows what He’s doing.

I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

Jeremiah 29:11 MSG

4 – Right now is a gift.

Think about this… you and I will never get to live this very moment again. Sure, we’ll be able to remember it and possibly relive it in our minds, but we’ll never get to physically live it ever again. Ever. Right now is a precious gift, so let’s treat it as such. Whether we’re doing laundry, or taking out the trash, or achieving a milestone, or conquering a fear, this is a priceless moment. Cherish it. Live it. Share it.

Friend, no matter if you’re reading this on a Monday or a Saturday, or if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or the right side. This moment matters. Right now is significant. Soak it in. Breathe it in. Live it out. Thank God for it.

I thank you for sharing this priceless moment with me!

God bless you!

It wasn't until I lost my mom in 2006 that I realized Mother's Day isn't the happiest day for all of us.

Please know that no matter how you are feeling today and what emotions you are experiencing, God sees, He knows, and He cares.

And I'm praying for you. My heart is with you, especially today. 🩷

I pray you see yourself the way God sees you.

You're amazing! 🌟

Sometimes, a simple prayer said while inhaling and exhaling can make all the difference. 🙏

Try this one if you're feeling stressed. 🥴

Distractions will try to entice you from the moment. Don't let them. 

Stay present. Live in the moment. Be where your feet are.

Your life is too important to live it distracted.

You see others blooming, but you feel buried.

You want to bloom, but you feel as if nothing is happening. 

Friend, take heart and listen to episode 196 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast this week. I'm sharing ideas and hope on how we can bloom where we're planted when we don't see progress.

God is at work. Bloom beautifully!

You’ve seen what Abundant Life Mentoring is—and what it’s not.

Now the only question is… are you ready for more?

More peace.
More purpose.
More of the life God created you to live.

If you’re tired of just going through the motions…

If you’re craving clarity, connection, and a closer walk with God...

Then Abundant Life Mentoring is for you.

Spots are open now.
