While the "today" is important, we must always be thinking forward as a Christ follower. God has long-term goals for each of us. It is not about our present comfort or our happiness today, but more so about the eternal purposes God intends for us.
“Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.” “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.” So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?” (Mark 8: 17-21)
While today's challenges are tough and we may have to gut them out, what God for our tomorrow is much better and worth today's efforts. Trust Him with tomorrow and continue to plow forward! Just as He provided yesterday, He provides for today, and He will provide for tomorrow.
He has us . . . keep thinking forward!
