With everyday worries enveloping us, it is very tempting to live in the past with regrets, or the future with anticipatory concern. Yet, past and the future concerns rob us of this present moment. The Psalmist reminds us, “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow” (Psalms 144:4). Be careful not to miss the blessings and joys of each day. Notice all of the good things God has given you and be thankful for them. Be careful not to spoil them with past regrets and future worries.
