CAPTURING THE MOMENT




• "Life is what happens to you while you’re making plans." (John Lennon)

• Do we not tend to:

Live in the future Question the past Push toward the next event on the calendar?



Question the past



Learn how to:

• Lighten up• Slow down• Smell the flowers• Take a deep breath.




• Why can’t we seem to enjoy…yes, even celebrate the moment? ‘Cause we got to rush on ahead to:

Gratify our titillations Worry about what’s next Make impressions Climb the ladder.



Climb the ladder.




You need to pause and question

whether this is God’s idea of how you are to conduct your live.



CAPTURING THE MOMENT• Imagine, our Heavenly Father has freely

given us all things to enjoy… Such as:

The exquisite beauty of tropical fish, a sky red at sunset, a fluttering butterfly, a child’s unsullied wonder, The stringed section of a philharmonic orchestra, or Unrushed friendship over a cup of coffee.




• All are ours for the satisfaction…if we will but take the time to capture the moment.

• Jesus, who brought into existence those missed sunsets, un-smelled flowers and fallen leaves, was never rushed, uptight or late.




• Thus at age 33 He was able to report to His Heavenly Father that He had completed His assigned task (John 17:4).



CAPTURING THE MOMENT• The Scriptures remind us that whoever

claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (I John 2:6) In other words, we can emulate the Lord Jesus’ measured lifestyle.

• So let’s once again determine to relax, temper the pace and regain the eternal perspective as to what is truly important in life.



CAPTURING THE MOMENT• Because this moment is ‘it.’ Life is now.

Tomorrow is like a receding skyline. • If we fail here, we will demonstrate the

truth of John Lennon’s claim that "life is what happens to you while you’re making plans."

And that would be a tragedy (I Timothy 6:17b).



Prayer Focus• Father, In the name of Jesus, I

surrender myself to walk in the Word in the marketplace. Your word living in me produces the Life in this world.

• The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. It makes my way plain before me.

• I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God! Amen



Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do

what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)



Learning, application and commitment

• One of the principles that I have learned from this lesson was …

• I intend to apply this principle in my market place by: …..

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will begin applying this truth immediately.



Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
