Living for now as a form of spiritual humility

"Living in the moment" is a common self-help type of pep talk, but one that, unfortunately, often comes with a connotation of rowdy behavior. However, a certain version of that philosophy has spiritual roots.

James 4:13-15 (KJV) states,

Ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow ... For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

This form of "living in the moment" has an element of Godly subjection. It offers a great way to view the singular spiritual importance of every moment, and it provides a great starting point for prayer.
