As long as I am on the freeway by 8:40 in the morning, I am good. I have plenty of time to get to work and even stop to get some coffee or check my P.O Box. There aren't usually many hiccups to my morning plans for which I am very thankful. But this morning was different. The difference about this morning compared to every other weekday morning that I am headed up the 5 was that there was a little fog on the freeway. When I say a little fog, I mean just a little fog. I am not saying it in a sarcastic "these people need to get over it" tone either. I literally mean a tiny bit, un poco...hardly any. Then the brake lights started, tires screeched, and traffic began coming to a halt...all this panic over tiny bit of fog. What was the big deal? When I stayed focused on what was a few miles in front of me it was all clear, but when I tried to see beyond that it was fuzzy, this little bit of fog was obstructing my view. The uncertainty of what was ahead was making people behind the wheel panic, the unknown was causing delays. Then it all made sense...
Can you relate?
When I keep my eyes on Jesus for my today, for my now, I have peace and clarity but when I start to look into my future the unknown has the power to cause me panic and doubt. He is the God of my yesterday & my tomorrow yet He asks me to trust Him today, to seek Him today, to walk with Him today. He tells me in His word not to worry about tomorrow, but to acknowledge Him in all of my ways and He will direct my paths (Matthew 6:34 & Proverbs 3:5-6). When I look beyond today my vision is obstructed, I see everything else except Jesus. Purposing in my heart to keep my eyes on Jesus and live in today, even though I don't know what it holds, gives me a peace that surpasses all understanding.
You may not know what will happen tomorrow, but you can be confident knowing Who holds it in His sovereign hands. Don't look ahead trying figure it out on your own, live now, seek Him today, worship Him today and let Him take care of the rest!
