It’s Not Over Yet!
I think most of us are in the “Can’t wait to get out” mentality. There isn’t much of school left and most of us are so ready for it to be summer. I know I can’t wait. But you will never know or realize how much of life you will miss by always looking forward to the next great thing. Matt. 6:34 says, “Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Every day is a God given chance to glorify Him and grow to become more like His Son. But so many times we are always looking forward to tomorrow. We can’t wait for summer..I am right there, I am so excited. But there is a lot of this year left, and a lot of time to make a difference in this school and in the people around you. You will miss so much if you are never looking at today and always looking for tomorrow. One of my camp counselors pointed out to me that I can be narrow focused..not looking out for all the needs around me. I have been working on this, although it isn’t easy..but one thing that God has been teaching me is that it starts with living today for Him and taking comfort in Lamentations 3:22-23, “The Lord’s lovingkindness indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new Every morning, Great is your faithfulness.” God will give us enough grace for today and then He will do it again when tomorrow comes. You will never live in tomorrow, but you are living in today. Take the time to make a difference today, to reach out and meet needs, and to make it your goal to please God in everything. Summer is coming..but it isn’t here yet. Don’t check out of school just yet. But more importantly-don’t check out of God’s plan. He has given us today-so let’s start living like it!:)
