Living for Today and Not Yesterday


So today our message at church was called "Yesterday's Tomorrow". At first I didn't know what that meant. As Iain went more in depth I realized more people need to hear this message and what this means.  So here is what I got from this message.

  • The first major point made was let go of what has you trapped. Do it today and don't be stuck in yesterday. This hit home with me. I always keep everything built up and take everything to heart. I dwell in the past and I tend to not look to the future. You have to realize God holds the future. He may take you on a detour before you can reach the destination. Move on from what is holding you back so you are able to live for tomorrow. Live for today, not yesterday, or a couple months ago. Live for today. Exodus 8:1-4
  • Second point made was, "Your destiny is greater than your history." Just because you had a rough life growing up or have been in a situation you aren't proud of doesn't mean it can define you. If you let it define you then it will take over and make your life a negative one. You can dwell on your history or you can try and change your future. You can take what use to be a negative and learn to make a positive out of it. Philippians 3:13
  • "Stop looking for the NEXT thing and see the NEW thing God is doing." You can't hold the old inside and keep expecting new things to happen. We often also try to look for the next thing in our life and we often forget to see what God is doing for us now. Let God mold you into who he wants you to be. No matter what God will show you what and who you should be. He may test you and take you down roads you don't understand. He has an ultimate a plan that only he knows. You should kneel down today so you can get to tomorrow. Isaiah 43:19 & Matthew 9:17
  • Lastly is the part about living for today. God wants us to get up everyday and know it is a new start. You may have had a bad day yesterday but that doesn't mean it is a bad life. We should get up and rejoice. HE has gave us another day to be alive and to try to make today better than yesterday. "Opportunity is now." Psalms 118: 24-25
I felt a pull today when this message was being brought to me that I should share it. Many people do struggle everyday. It may be with depression, anxiety, or etc. We all have a purpose though and if we look to Our Savior we won't feel lost. God has a plan.

With Love,
K

Dear Praise Team..

Tremble - MOSAIC Dear Praise Team, Thank you for bringing such joy to church. You are all such a blessing to us. I have always connected with music from a young age. I did musicals, played piano, and also collected vinyl records. I never knew music would bring me closer to God. The first day I stepped into church I was so overwhelmed by the power and comfort the music gave me. I felt like God was trying to get me to understand this is where I belong. I belonged at this church where I could connect through the music and praise team to help get through my life. The first day they played Everything and Nothing Less. This has became my new favorite song. I feel like God was telling me to give it all to him. Let him take control. But if it wasn't for the praise team I don't know if I would have ever felt that. I could feel God trying to speak to me through them. You make me forget what is going on in the outside World and make me focus on my relationship with God and how I...

Wanting Approval

All That Matters - Colton Dixon Wanting Approval.... We want to be accepted in a World based on opinions other people have on us. We look at all these people and compare ourselves to them. Then we think about ways to change our lives so we can be happy and confident like that person. In reality, we don't know what that person is going through. They could be one of the unhappiest people in the World. They could be going through something at home and you only get to see what they post online. We judge someone based on a picture or a status. We live in a World where we rely solely on the internet to decide our life. We want to be accepted by people we don't even know. We want so many likes on a picture and if it doesn't get enough we start to question everything about it. Was my make up not on "point"? Should I have posted a different one? Or used a different filter? We also dress to impress everyone. We go and spend a bunch of money on clothes. We want that cu...
