Living in the Moment Mood

Sunday, December 14, 2008

I was listening to an audiobook by CS Lewis, Screwtape Letters, yesterday and I heard something I really need to take to heart.

He spoke about our need to live in the present and do What Jesus Would Do. We should not be focusing on anxiety about what is ahead or tomorrow. Anxiety binds us. We need to focus on the tasks at hand.

I see myself needing to trust God with tomorrow. I am constantly worrying about what is coming instead of living in the moment. I need to learn contentment and to trust Him.

A very wise decision based on very wise words. I have read C.S. Lewis' works and always got a lot out of reading it.
