(Matthew 6:34 NKJV) “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Each night, as we go out for our evening walk, we get to this one hill. Both of us like to jog up this hill. We love the way it gets our heart beating and we feel like we conquered it.
It is a huge hill and about half way up sometimes if I lift up my head and look towards the top. I find my breathing and my mind start to panic, almost causing me to quit at times.
I am often reminded that what works best for me is to keep my head down and only focus on what is in front of me, not looking to see how far from the top I am. So I’ll force my head down and literally watch my feet taking one step at a time causing my breathing and my mind to focus again. Before I know it, I am at the top of that hill!!
It’s like this with God. He gives us desires and visions within our hearts and we need to remember that these things don’t always come to pass immediately. It takes time, one step at a time.
In this day we live in ,everything seems so fast-paced. If we want this or that they make it so easy to get things quickly. We have to be careful we don’t get stuck in this mindset when it comes to God and His plan for us.
When God shows us the things He would like to do with us or for us we can be prayerful and focus on how He would like us to reach the goal on a daily basis. If we look too far ahead it can cause us to panic, stress, or doubt that it can even be done.
So take one day at a time because that is enough.
