"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 hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
It's comforting to know that God has a plan for my future. He knows what the next season of my life will hold and His plans are for my good. I just wish He'd let me in on them!
I don't wait well. I want to know what the next step is so I can start working on it now, or if I can't work on it, at least I can start getting a little excited about it. Instead, I wake up each day thinking that just around the next corner is something really great for me, something fun and exciting.
The problem is that while I'm focused on the future, I'm not really enjoying the present...and that's just wrong! Each day should be lived to it's fullest, with thanksgiving for the Father's provision and love. After all, if I can't treasure everything He's given me today, I can't move on to the new thing He wants to do in my life.
Am I the only one who's like this? Do you ever spend so much time looking forward that you miss today?
