Abba Values Every Moment
(5 minutes)
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the "Lord" I'm referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)
"Do not miss the value of one moment. You might be going to the grocery store for a moment, and Abba is intending to encounter you there. But we miss it because we're distracted. We might miss something that the Lord wants to teach us because we're distracted. Value your moments. No one knows the last moment, so value every moment." (Pastor Tim)
Every moment is important to Abba. In the day ahead of you, there will be moments that you deem unimportant or throw-away moments, but Abba looks at every moment as extremely valuable. There are no throw-away moments. Abba is in them all, luring us to Himself. How are we viewing these moments? Are we trying to get through them as fast as possible to get to the ones we value? Or are we taking our time with Abba in each moment, turning our open hearts to Him, and seeing what He has to say? If you feel yourself getting distracted today, just turn your heart right back to Abba.
"How do we determine a valuable moment? By the joy we're having in that moment. Do you consider your vacation moments better than your work moments? Why? Because you're enjoying yourself in the moment. Abba hasn't set this life up from one vacation to the next, it's set up from one breath to one breath. A father wants his children to enjoy every single moment of their lives. What if He's just waiting for your full, undivided attention in a moment? Think about that." (Pastor Tim)
This is the new paradigm for beloved sons and daughters. Your true north will now be overwhelming joy. That's the direction that Abba wants your life to move towards. Joy in every moment. This is Abba's heart for every one of His children, just like it's our heart for our children. This can be quite an adjustment because religion never allowed us to experience the fullness of joy. But you have to be convinced of this today - Abba desires that enjoyment be the theme of your life. How do we determine a valuable moment? By the joy we're having in that moment.
How will you approach the moments in your day?
Do you believe that Abba wants you to experience overwhelming joy?
Take the walk with Abba today and let Him convince you of the truth. Let Him share His heart with you and show you how He views every moment of your life. Wade a little deeper into the river of Abba's love today because He has so much in store for His lovers.
