Taking advantage of time

in #steemchurch4 years ago (edited)
Greetings again dear readers, it is a pleasure to share with you one more publication hoping that it can be edifying for your life. On this occasion I would like to share a little reflection I made some time ago about the events that happen to us in life, when I understood this I began to lead my life in a more serene way, not because I have become irresponsible but because I do not allow myself to lose sleep that which escapes from my hands and I cannot do anything to change, this reflection helped me to increase my confidence in God .

MOMENT

It's not about physics, spin force or anything like that, but we'll think of
MOMENT
as the only moment in your life when you can act. Sometimes we spend so much time remembering the past or imagining the future that we waste the only time we are given to invest
THE PRESENT
. That is why today I want us to reason together that life is given to us in a fragmented way . These fragments are nothing more than circumstances that arise in the time when we make decisions that affect the future, we do not totally control events, God does, but every moment of present time is a time when we choose from the multiple possible options.

THE MIND

It is the place where we fight our greatest battles, where we decide what is real and what is not. If a person is shown vinegar and told that it is water the person looks at it and withdraws believing that it is, then in his mind what is in the container is water (his reality) although it is not. From the power of believing comes the possibility of deception, however the person who believes lives in the world that his mind has formed for him, regarding that, we judge the circumstances or fragments that life presents us as good or bad, but these fragments are no more than those, to explain them in simple words I will give a small example of this:

Pedro was a 20-year-old young man who lived with his grandfather Juan, 50 years old, in a small town, they had only one mare they used to work and earn their living every day, in an instant the animal disappeared, so the neighbors told Juan.
"Too bad your mare left was your only livelihood" to which he replied
"Who knows if it was bad? Life is given to us in fragments, so we can't judge it bad that the mare is gone.
Shortly after the mare returned and behind her came 10 horses, now Juan had a mare and ten horses to which the very happy neighbors approached saying:
"You were right, it was good that the mare is gone, now you have more than before" and he replied:

"Why do you say it's good that he's back with so many animals? We know we're fine now, but we can't know if this was good or bad.
A few days later Peter was training the new horses, but a very wild one knocked him down and because of this Peter became disabled. Immediately the neighbors told Juan
"How right you were, it was bad that the horses came, if it were not for them, your son could still walk" and again John answered:
"Who says he's bad? It's true he was better off with his legs, but we don't know if what happened to him is good or bad."
After some time the Second World War began, the army went to John's village to take all the young people to war, all of them were separated from their parents except Peter because he was disabled.

The story can go on infinitely, but by now we should already notice that life is given to us in fragments, circumstances are only circumstances, pleasant or unpleasant at the time of their occurrence but only God knows and controls the future. Trust in God with all your heart and He will do everything in your life for you, if you want a biblical example, read the book of Job. I hope this post was to your liking. Don't forget to back me up with your comments.
