Lesson 10

 

Focus on Now

First Corinthians 10:13- No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

 

This present moment is the only time when you have the greatest control over your life and consequently your future. Do not dwell in the past. Do not focus on negative things. Think positive, beautiful thoughts. Everything has its benefits. Ask the spirit of discernment to help you understand the events in your life. Remove all negative thoughts by transforming them into opportunities or signs redirecting you to make positive and pleasing future choices in your lives. Focus on the present and the choices you make now, whether great or small, will directly/indirectly influence your future. You have the power to decide what you want in the future, how you want it and how long you want to have it. Your life is in your hands in this present moment, as you will be able to decide what situations you want to find yourself in at various points in the future based on your current actions and thoughts. Take charge of your life!

So remember that: The most important moment is now.
