Live for today

[teamventure]

How can the term "live for today" be compatible with scripture
AND how is it incompatible.

I get that scripture teaches that you should live one day at a time and not make assumptions about what you will do tommorrow for tommorrow is never promised.
However, the term "live for today" sounds too much like, "live your best life now" and all of that fleshly prosperity gospel stuff which is obviously not biblical.

What are your thoughts on enterpreting and applying scripture to the term, "live for today?"

Just living day by day can be a handful sometimes lol. dwelling on the past can lead to depression or worse and being too concern about the future can create alot of anxiety and worry. Living for today is focusing on what is at hand.

Isa. 43:18
Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old

Matt. 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
