This moment is pregnant with potential. Yesterday's opportunity is gone, and tomorrow's may never arrive. But, in this moment, amazing things can happen.
"Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near." (Isaiah 55.6)
This moment holds potential for a life-changing encounter with our Creator and Father. Abraham, in a moment, heard the call of God to the land of promise (Genesis 12.1-3), and life was never the same again. Moses was tending the flocks of his father-in-law, and, in a moment, encountered God through a burning bush (Exodus 3.1-2). Life took on a new purpose and mission.
God certainly will not force an encounter with us; we must be ready, willing, and attentive. He reveals Himself to the responsive: "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46.10 KJV)
Will you make time in your day to be still enough to anticipate an encounter with your Father? A step of faith and obedience is what He requires: "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." (Hebrews 11.6) Our Father's prerequisite is resolute faith in His existence, His availability to us in the moment, and desire to reward the diligent seeker.
Truly this moment is pregnant with potential. Our Father is waiting for us to wait upon Him. We are but a moment away from a life-changing encounter.
