I love to look ahead. I want to have a clear sense of where I’m going, we’re going. Seeking God’s vision and purpose for our individual lives as well as our life together as a church is a huge deal. I’m so excited for what is just around the corner, but…

 

I can’t miss NOW while I’m waiting on tomorrow.

 

John Ortberg writes in God is Closer than You Think,

“The greatest moment of your life is now. Not because it’s pleasant or happy or easy, but because this moment is the only moment you’ve got. Every past moment is irretrievably gone. It’s never coming back. If you live there, you lose your life.

And the future is always out there somewhere. You can spend an eternity waiting on tomorrow, or worrying about tomorrow. If you live there, you likewise will lose your life.”

 

I can’t wait for tomorrow, but I’m not going to miss out on all that today is going to bring.

 

Pray this with me: Dear Father, I want to walk with you today. Show me what I need to see. Use me to be a blessing, not someday, but now.
