Lay it down.

Wowzers. How many times will it take? It has honestly only been one day and yet I feel like I have tried to take control of my situation and lay it back down at the feet of Christ 50 times! All in one day! It's bizarre. I catch myself in the very early stages of asking myself what could have been or what could be instead of focusing my mind on the here and now of what God wants with my life. Because from my limited knowledge, It seems that by focusing on the day by day tasks that God wants you to focus on now, will naturally lead you to where he wants you in the future. So why would I want to fantasize about how grandiose my future could be with whom? God already has it planned out where my path will lead. So as long as I can focus on his task for me minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, focusing my gaze on his glory every step of the way, He will naturally lead me to where He wants me to be. So may this be an encouragement to any who reads this to take your gaze off of the future. Of course there is nothing wrong with planning, but there is a difference between planning and fantasizing. Fix your gaze on God and live for his Glory in every step of the PRESENT, and he will guide you to the future that he has designed for you. So when you catch yourself fantasizing about the future such as where you will live, what you will be, and especially who you will be with, stop yourself. Lay the future down at the feet of Jesus. Let him work his perfect will in your life. Because he will. If you let it go and let him.
