living for today

Many times we hear this phrase, "live for today" but how do we actually really live it out. I think that is something that God has been teaching me recently. So many times I worry about what is to come or how I am going to overcome these sins in my life, but I need to focus on today. We must continue to fight today's fight. We cannot win tomorrows battle, but we will win these battles as we choose to fight each day. I think we forget that. We overcome our sins, our struggles, and the temptations of life by daily choosing to follow Jesus and live in His strength, surrendering all that we are to Him.
Live for today.
What does God want to do in me today? God knows the things we must do each day- work, school, doing the laundry, etc. But He still wants to use us in the midst of that. We need to be willing. Many times when I think about being open or willing to what God wants for me each day, i don't quite know what to do because I have responsibilities (like a job) and things I must do and I feel like the two don't work together. But God can still use us through those things. Don't belittle the mundane things of life that Jesus can use to transform others lives. Have a willing heart. This is definitely something I am trying to learn and apply to my life right now. Its not an easy thing, but it is worth it.
Matt. 22:37...Am i daily trying to give all that I am to God?
