“… we’re often so busy thinking about the next thing that we’re at risk of missing the main thing: the people and places God has put in front of us, right here, right now.”..
Have you learned how to be present in the moment, faithfully present?
We are typically distracted, unhappy and backward looking. But this is not how God intends for our lives to be.
Christ came to earth for many reasons and one of them was so you could live in the moment and be present in the present.
Adam Ramsey helps us to understand the importance of learning to be present.

Adam's latest book is called "Faithfully Present: Embracing the Limits of Where and When God Has You" (https://amzn.to/3RSbdo5 – @thegoodbookcompany)." from video introduction
Faithfulness Is Right in Front of You
Napping is a staple of my Sunday afternoon. After prayer meeting and church, I need to recharge before heading out again for the evening service. But when I wake to a blaring alarm, I’m initially disoriented. For a second, I don’t know where I am or what time it is. Sometimes I instinctively think it’s a workday before I realise I’m on the couch with the afternoon sun streaming in the window.
But is this kind of disorientation confined to those few post-nap moments? When I look at my own life and the frenzied, anxious society around me, it seems few of us truly grasp where we are or what time we’re living in.
That’s also Adam Ramsey’s contention in his newest book, Faithfully Present: Embracing the Limits of Where and When God Has You. Instead of wishing we were somewhere else or distracting ourselves from the realities of our days, we’ll thrive as Christians when we learn to be attentive. The back cover copy says, “… we’re often so busy thinking about the next thing that we’re at risk of missing the main thing: the people and places God has put in front of us, right here, right now.”.." from the article: Faithfulness Is Right in Front of You
