so what is the solution to our common
mistake in looking into the future of presuming about tomorrow? so what's the solution? live one day at a time.
matthew 6.34 (niv) says, so don't be
anxious about tomorrow. GOD will take
care of your tomorrow too. live one day at a time.
live one
day at a time, that’s how GOD says
to face the future. the future could be
overwhelming but fortunately it comes in bite size pieces, a 24-hour segment of
time.
plan for the future but you can only live
now. i can’t live in the future; i can
only live today. plan for the future but
take advantage of the present. life is
what happens to us while we’re planning something else. we’re always planning what’s going to happen
in january and miss CHRISTmas.
today is the good old days you’re going to
talk about in 15 years. enjoy now. make the most of now. don’t make the mistake of planning without
GOD. don’t make the mistake of presuming
about tomorrow. i don’t know if i’ve got
next week, much less next year. i
shouldn’t just assume it.
spencer johnson, the man who wrote the book the
one minute manager wrote another book called the perfect present. in this book he said the perfect present is
literally the prefect present. the
present time. that’s all i have. that’s all i have to give to this world. not next hour or next month but right
now. that’s the gift that GOD has given
to me so i ought to use it. that’s all i
have – the present.
just because the future is uncertain and
unsure and brief doesn’t mean you get uptight and get paralyzed with panic and
worry. it’s the motivation to trust GOD
more. you put your trust in GOD – that’s
how you face the future. “i don’t know
what the future holds, but i know who holds the future.” that’s what counts.
david said in psalm 35.15 (niv), LORD my
days are in YOUr hands. commitment –
that’s what james says. don't make the
mistake of planning without GOD and don’t make the mistake of presuming about
tomorrow. instead, include GOD in your
planning and make the most of today.
live one day at a time.
just a thought from the front porch…
