“What is the best thing to do in the short life that God has given us? I think we should enjoy eating, drinking, and working hard. This is what God intends for us to do. Suppose you are very rich and able to enjoy everything you own. Then go ahead and enjoy working hard—this is God’s gift to you. God will keep you so happy that you won’t have time to worry about each day.” – Ecclesiastes 5:18-20, CEV
Isn’t it wonderful how God wants to keep us happy and away from sin?
Most of the pessimism that people experience in life is because of regrets and worries.
Regrets of the past and worries about the future.
There is no use being disappointed about the past because it is over and done. Whenever we are confronted by a sad memory, the best thing to do is to realize the lesson we got from it.
It does not make sense being anxious about the future either. Because no one knows for sure what tomorrow may bring. It is alright to prepare for the future, but worrying about the future? It’s a total waste of time.
God wants us to be happy and live in the present and trust in Him. If we trust God enough, then regrets and worries will abandon us.
The following are some practical tips on how to live in the present.
How to live in the present
1. Stop and breathe
2. Be Mindful
3. Appreciate the moment
You can Trust God
“But the Lord watches over all who honor Him and trust His kindness.” – Psalm 33:18, CEV
