Difficult as it might be; living one day at a time is a wholesome self-control mechanism which teaches us patience and genuine reliance on our Lord.
Of course, we all like to plan ahead, to be in control of our future, and to prepare for all eventualities. There’s nothing wrong in that, and it would be foolhardy to leave all to chance and do nothing.
Yet, at the same time, we should balance our every plan with the reality of what is now. We should live each day in gratitude for what God has given us today, rather than look ahead to what is yet to come.
They say “You never know what’s round the next corner”. How true. All it takes is a sudden event, an illness, an accident, something out of our control, to put all our plans into disarray.
Thank you Lord for another today.

So very true. This truth hit home to us as a family 18 months ago. Sometimes things happen out-with our control and it is at such times that we learn that underneath truly are the Everlasting Arms. I don't know what our future holds but I do know Who holds our future and that is enough to know... W McCallum
