I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life and this week is the largest snow fall that I can remember. To top it off it is February! I find myself asking this question…Ever think God is not as interested in our schedule as we are?
Have you been able to enjoy the “down time” that this snow fall has brought? Time inside, break from the routine, opportunity to do others things or even nothing at all? Time to enjoy today, unworried about tomorrow.
James 4:13-15
13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.- NIV
I submit there is something wrong if our lives and schedules are so busy that we can not pause for a few days. It is easy to live life so fast and furious that there is never time to enjoy the NOW. As I sit looking outside my office window, it is snowing again and I am in awe at the beauty. This marks the fifth day of snow and the first day I have made it back to the office. What have I been doing? Watching movies with my family, sledding with the kids, eating too much, odd and end projects.
Who told us that we cannot stop to enjoy the NOW? How long will it last? When will things be back to normal? Will we get more next week? I do not know. But this I do know…I am going to enjoy the MOMENT. Why? Because now is what there is to ENJOY.
Blessings,
Darren
