From the God's Best for My Life devotional book by Lloyd John Ogilvie:
'One of the most disturbing aspects of anxiety is concern for the future...It is the unwritten chapter of our lives which distresses most of us.
Jesus gives us the key: let tomorrow take care of itself; live today to the full.
The point is that if we live the way He suggested today, tomorrow will be more glorious than we ever dared to imagine. The reason for this is that what we do today will be inseparably related to what can happen tomorrow. We can have something to say about what will happen by how we handle what's happening.
Most of us get so tomorrow-oriented that we do not enjoy the present moment. We are preoccupied by what is coming, and we fail to experience what is. We press on in preparation as if some new plan, relationship, or opportunity will make everything different. It is good to plan but not to the point that we miss what God is saying in the difficult or unpleasant thing we may now be living through.
The seeds of tomorrow's harvest are today. How we cultivate them will determine what we will reap.'
Winners don't forget to live...today!
