Preparing for the future

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Cor 12:9a)

God has brought you to this point in your life. God is fully aware of what was happening in the world, and in your life, as you grew up. God knows the joys and heartaches you’ve experienced. God has been with you every step of your journey. God has blessed you with the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to get to this stage in your life. 

God says to you today, “My child, I love you. I am with you! I know what is going on. I am in control. My grace is sufficient for you today. Enjoy the blessings of this moment!” As you prepare for tomorrow, there is no need to be afraid, for God has brought you to this place, and he promises never to leave you or forsake you. Continue to seek God and his kingdom and his righteousness. Embrace God’s commands. Trust in God’s goodness. When tomorrow comes, God will provide you with the strength to face the new day. 

Whatever happens next in your life is totally under God’s control, and is not a surprise to Him. He has blessed you with the talents and skills to handle each new situation. He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able as new situations that arise. God is preparing you right now for what is next in your life. 

What do you need to be doing to prepare for tomorrow? Are there things you need to stop doing, are there things you need to get rid of, are there new skills you need to learn, or are there people you need to talk to?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you that you have been with us every day of our lives. Forgive us for those things that have crept into our lives that keep us from worshiping you. Thank you for the wonderful, diverse group of people you have surrounded us with, and the unique gifts you have given each one of them. Lord, we place our future in your hands. Give us the wisdom to use our time today wisely as we prepare for tomorrow. Amen
