Both the past and the present is the state God wants me to focus on. Past is definite and focusing on it helps me to be grateful for what God gave me. He gave me a relationship with him, he gave me my friends, he gave me my wife, he gave me a job, he gave me a diploma, he gave me a great family, he gave me countless blessings. The present though, is what he wants me to focus on, he wants me to stick close to him, understand his plans, trust him, live with me, breath him, love him for today. Am I doing that? Future is what Satan wants me to focus on, he wants me to worry about my flat, he wants me to be jealous of that big car, he wants me to dream of nice holidays, he wants me to dream of the nicest gadget, he wants me to focus on earning money for all these things and then I will forget him. He's tricking me and I'm falling into it.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your lifee]">[e]?Matthew 6:28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
