FAITH is making the most of today and letting GOD take care of yesterday and tomorrow.... HMMMMMMMM
interesting concept, if i let go of tomorrow and yesterady i can make the most of today and live in FAITH. i have very little trouble letting go of yesterday, after all there is not a whole lot i can do about it. tomorrow on the other hand presents a few diffculties for me. there is the illusion that somehow i can affect tomorrow if i just apply enough force of will. after all i need to make plans and expect outcomes to live in reality, or do i?
yes i do need to make plans and at least examine the possible outcomes. i do not need to have expectations of what tomorrow will bring. there are some things that i do know about tomorrow though, if i choose once more to abstain from using and acting out i will continue to grow. if i make my plans today for my future and am flexible i will not only survive but thrive no matter what tomorrow brings.
for me it is dangerous to live in anything but this moment, but that does not mean that i can afford to live without some sort of plan for tomorrow in place. what i believe this reading is saying to me is that plan the plan and then adapt it to the the outcome.
