Professor Einstein is writing plainly that we should live our life with the awareness that today is all we have.
In other words our long term plans need to be focused on the present moment providing the building blocks for our ongoing accomplishments, completed when we draw our last breath.
Wise sages inform us that our life is not what happens to us, rather how we respond to what happens to us. That we have within our life the wisest of friends, present as our life's counsellor, advising us on how best to deal with every matter that we will ever encounter should encourage us to consult Him when the going becomes too much for us to handle.
Our responses to our life's stimuli create the person we are becoming enabling us to reveal the presence of The Helper, always with us, shepherding us through the ebbs, and flows of our life's journey.
“It’s not the load that weighs you down, it’s how you carry it.” ~ C.S. Lewis
From time, to time each of us can feel over burdened by what appears to be an impossible task driving us into a state of high anxiety.
It is precisely in those moments that Our Father asks us to call Him for help to conquer the challenge that has brought us into deep despair.
The Helper is present in our life ready to provide us with the remedy to that overwhelming difficulty that has destroyed our self confidence.
“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God.
The world is crowded with Him.
He walks everywhere incognito.”~ C.S. Lewis
God is not up there, and we down here. Our Father's Spirit is here, and now present in our life rendering to us all the assistance that we will ever need, when we call upon Him to take our hand leading us through those moments when we need the practical help of our greatest friend.
14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,
15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
16 “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
~ John 10
