Sometimes our lives can be characterized by one event to another. I received a text on Saturday night from a friend of mine that just finished a competition. The text in as few of words possible and of course "text-isms" told of the next event almost forgetting about the win that was just done.
Last night after Easter Sunday, I found myself already thinking about the next "big event" and what that is going to entail.
Years ago Stormie Omartian penned the words of a song that for some reason, come to my mind at least once a month. The lyric says "you're looking so hard for the flower, when the hour is still ahead." In the context of the song, she was saying we look so hard for the next thing that we miss what is right in front of us...what God is doing now.
For those that know me, there is one thing that people say about me all the time. I AM A PLANNER. I have to admit...guilty on all charges. So it is very easy for me to think of the next event and miss celebrating what God has done in the one just finished.
So what is the point of my ramblings? Just one point...it is fine to think ahead and plan but always being careful to see what God is doing now. So I leave you with one question? What did God do yesterday that was something that only He could have done? Celebrate it! When we get to tomorrow and we look back on today...celebrate it. God is doing incredible things in our midst. We don't want to miss it because we are on to the next "big event" before we look at what God has done today.
Think about it!
