STOP AND THINK – We ought to learn from the past; we ought to look to the future, but we ought to live in the present. (Philip De Courcy, Pastor and Bible teacher)

Some of us like to “live in the past.” We’re nostalgic and long for the “good ole days.” Others are futuristic, always planning for a “golden era,” and anticipating what could be. Of course, we are all forced to live in the present. A proper perspective of life remembers the past with benefit, plans for the future, but makes the best of each moment of every day.

Godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:8)
