The Gift of the Present Moment

{vision} One day, as I was praying for wisdom in carrying out a long-term goal, I saw a vision of a Christmas tree with presents beneath it. In my spirit, I saw myself waking up each morning in the way I did as a child on Christmas morning—with a feeling of excitement, expectation, and hope.

When I received this vision, I sensed Holy Spirit calling me to seek the treasures that the Father has prepared for me each day of my life. So often, from the moment we wake up until the time we fall asleep, our thoughts can be plagued with our to-do lists. Many things need to be done, and many things need to be addressed. And depending on the urgency of those needs, it can be hard to stop and recognize the good that is before us.

However, in those moments when we feel like we’re not moving fast enough and doing enough, our thoughts are consumed with the possible future. As a result, we can miss the treasures hidden in the present moment. Therefore, Holy Spirit is calling us to slow down and take inventory.

Moving at the Speed of Grace

 

Grow in Patience” by Meghan Williams, Dyed4you Art

{vision} I saw a road sign which showed that the speed limit was 55. There was a blurred line through the middle of the 55, and I knew words were printed there.

I saw this vision just before I opened my eyes one morning. I sensed this was a “sign” of the spiritual speed limit for my day. Immediately, I knew the “55” represented a multiplication of grace. I also recognized that the words that I couldn’t read on the sign symbolized a “word” that God had for me through the vision. This word would clarify a repeated message He had been speaking in the Spirit: “Slow down.”

I have heard the words “slow down” at various times each day for months. It usually happens while I’m working or trying to juggle multiple tasks. At other times, I hear it when I’m not necessarily busy doing anything, but I may be busy thinking through many things.
