"This moment is all that matters. The future is now." -Lecrae
Live for the future, in the now. By this I mean that we should, first of all, not be living for the moment. We live for Christ and the life He promises is to come, and in doing so we realize how every moment, thought and action is done for the future. We should also live in the now, meaning that we should not fight our battles in the future, nor should we fight past battles and dwell on our victories or losses. With each new day, we should have an outlook that fights the sin of that day, fights to make that day worth God's protection, and not be thinking of life in the bigger picture lest we give up on the battle at hand.
Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a
town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit'— yet you do
not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist
that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to
say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.' ~James 4:13-15 (ESV)
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
