“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go, for your faith has healed you.’ Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.” Mark 10:52 NLT
We were enjoying the warm afternoon on the back deck a few days ago. Famous was standing up close to the railing in order to better survey the woods behind our house for any trespassing squirrels. As I watched him, a hummingbird flew and hovered two feet in front of his face, unaware at first that he was on the other side of the railing. Famous stood still and watched as the creature hung in the air in front of him. Then it flew off into the woods. Famous probably figured it was some large insect such as a dragonfly, but for a moment it captured his attention.
There are so many moments in our lives. Each one can be as wonderful as the next one if we are connected to Jesus. But instead of stepping from one moment to the next with the grace and confidence which the Lord gives us, we are tempted to dwell on the past or consume our thoughts with the prospect of the future. Even worse, at times we live vicariously through others and allow envy, greed, or depression to dominate our minds and hearts.
Faith is knowing that this very moment is the most important time to be connected to the Lord. These moments can be endless, and they can continue into the world to come.
I pray You will be close to me in every moment of today.
