4 – Do you plan your future or do you just prefer things to happen?

  • “Come now, those saying, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and spend a year there, and we will trade and will make a profit, who do not know of the morrow. For what is your life? For it is a vapor, which appears for a little time, and then disappears. Instead of you saying, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. But now you boast in your presumptions. All such boasting is evil.” (James 4.13-16).

Look on what Jesus said: “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with headaches and drinking and anxieties of this life; and that day should suddenly come on you;” (Luke 21.34). It is good remembering that the cares of the world is one of the things that keep us away from yielding the fruit of Holy Spirit (Luke 8.14). We should be used to going through only what the life offers us today. After all, today is the day that Jesus supply for us (Psalms 118.24).

There is no point concerning about something that we even not know if this will be take place in our lives. While we are mulling over fantasies and hanging on to all bad contingencies, we end up turning our back on people around us. We can look ahead, but always living the present and looking after people that Jesus put close to us.

Have a marvelous day in Christ Jesus and remember: do not be anxious about tomorrow (Matthew 6.34), for Jesus has carved you on the palms of His hands; your walls are forever before Him (Isaiah 49.16).
