There is a constant pull to dwell on the past or focus on the future, but God calls us to live in the present – the only place He is actually with us. Studies show that without intention, we spend almost half of our waking hours daydreaming and that, regardless of whether or not these are happy daydreams, if you’re not living in the present it leads to diminished happiness. Joy is found by seeking God in your present circumstances. “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
