Six Months from Now

I think one of the Devil's most effective strategies is to get us to live our lives six months from now. He encourages us to imagine what our life will look like then--and we always imagine the worst--and by doing so he robs us of this day--and the joy and opportunities it affords us to serve others in His name. We so easily doubt God's love when we are blinded by our fears. This is the day God has given you. Use it. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness--day by day. Don't be discouraged or disheartened by the possible problems tomorrow may bring, let alone what your life will be like months from now. And you know what? If the absolute worst happens that I can imagine, I will be the same thing five months from now that I am today: a joint-heir with Jesus Christ of all things for eternity. OOOOH, won't that be terrible.
