What Does the Bible Say About Living in the Moment?
Living in the moment is not easy. You can enjoy the moment and feel the energy flowing through you, or you can lean on God for tomorrow. Whatever your approach, living in the moment is better than wishing you were dead. But how do you do it? The Bible gives us a few guidelines.
Enjoying life
According to the Bible, enjoying life in the moment is a vital part of the Christian life. It can bring great joy and satisfaction, and can also be a source of happiness. However, it is important to understand that enjoying life in the moment is different than chasing the wind. The Bible encourages us to enjoy the present moment, and avoid wishing for the future, which is only going to make our lives even more miserable.
Feeling the flow of energy
Feeling the flow of energy is one of the hallmarks of living in the moment. You can experience it in many ways, from painting to dancing, writing to running. Whatever it is that you do, try to let go of the need to watch the clock. According to psychologist Jennifer Howard, author of Your Ultimate Life Plan, “flow can occur when you’re doing something you enjoy and are good at.” It can even occur while engaging in sports.
The intention behind being in the flow state is to experience a greater sense of well-being and pleasure. The idea is that you can tap into your true well-being and ultimate source of power. Flowing is a state of awareness that is incredibly powerful and enriching.
Feeling the glories of heaven
Feeling the glory of God in the moment is a powerful experience that many believers have had. Brother Kenneth E. Hagin once compiled a list of every Bible verse that describes God’s glory and read them aloud in church services. As the verses were read, people would fall to the ground under their power and rush to the altar to be saved. People could physically see and feel the presence of God.
Heaven is a place of glorious triumph and complete victory. It is the place of the triumphant procession. There are trophies and crowns in heaven for the conquered and the victorious. It is a place of white robes and white crowns. The presence of Christ enables us to experience this bliss.
There is an important distinction between heaven and earth. Many biblical descriptions do not refer to heaven by name. For example, the biblical city of Jerusalem is not a heaven, but the capital of the new earth. This distinction is important to make when trying to understand heaven. By the way, this is not the same as the “cities of gold,” which is a literal place.
The glories of heaven are a manifestation of God’s grace and love. Heaven’s love is the sweetest in the world, and it engages the heart like a burning flame. The saints in heaven are in awe of their Savior, Redeemer, and Father. Feeling heaven in the moment is possible through prayer and meditation.
The glories of heaven are beyond the scope of our earthly knowledge. But they are not insignificant. Heaven is full of joy and love and we should seek to experience the fullness of it in our lives. And we can only feel the glory of heaven when we are filled with it. But we must guard ourselves from being too naive to allow the love to overwhelm us.
Leaning on God for tomorrow
Leaning on God is essential for the spiritual life. God desires that we spend time with Him and trust Him in all aspects of our lives. He wants to help us with our joys and needs. But sometimes life can be difficult and overwhelming. Leaning on God is crucial, even in the rosiest times. Having faith in God means trusting Him, allowing God to redeem our past, and waiting on God to provide for our needs.
The early Christians had to endure ridicule, stoning, and jailing for their faith. Yet, they knew that Jesus meant for them to share the Gospel with all nations. Katy leans on the LORD for strength, comfort, and hope, and she is not alone. In spite of the trials and difficulties, she knows that God is with her.
