Savoring Life
by Keith Moore
Do you know how to live? I mean really live? Do you know how to enjoy a sunrise or the green grass or a flower? Or are you in such a rush that you can’t see the beauty in creation and stop long enough to appreciate all that God has given us?
Until you came to know the Lord, you really didn’t know anything about living because you didn’t know the Giver of Life. But being born again doesn’t mean you know all there is to know. Most people don’t know how to live. They just exist. They are always looking forward to something else. They think about tomorrow, saying things like, “Soon we’re going to get into the good things of God.” “If only we were able to do this.” “Soon we’ll be able to do that.” “When we’re able to retire, then we’ll live.” But that’s not living.
Truly living is experiencing the zoe life—the God kind of life—today so that you won’t have any regrets tomorrow. By living the zoe life, you won’t look back and say, “Oh, man, I should have been having fun. I should have been enjoying life—savoring every moment.” Knowing how to live is an art that must be developed. And as you do, you can daily taste and see that God is good.
