Live for Today

Matthew 6:33 - 34

This text is not alien to Christians, most of us know how to sing the song about this verse. I prepared this short message for prayer meeting. After preparing, I need to do some translation to mandarin cause the prayer meeting was conducted in Mandarin. So, I Google translate the title 'Live for Today' - 今朝有酒今朝醉。 If you understand Chinese, you'll know that this is a Chinese proverb.

Do you remember what master Oogway said to Master Shifu in the Kungfu Panda? "Yesterday ishistory, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift that's why it is called the present." we need to live for today.

Yesterday is past. Like Apostle Paul. it is wise to forget what is the behind. Paul said, "I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do. Forgetting what is behind..."

Tomorrow is yet to come. We do not know about tomorrow. It will do us no good to worry about it. So, it is better to leave it in God's hand. What we have is today. Just today, make life worth living and meaningful.

I have 5 points for us to live just for today:

  1. Count your blessings, not your troubles.
  2. Walk the second mile with love and kindness
  3. Forget the past and move on with our lives with God.
  4. Live one day at a time.
  5. Do not be in hurry, not worry about tomorrow.

Follow this points and live your life for today and you'll know that your day would be more cheerful than before to face the day that was given to us.
