Soon I will start my last semester of college. It's a very weird feeling. In December I will be graduating, late but finally graduating. I don't have a plan after December. I'm very Type A, I don't go with the flow. But for once, I'm okay with not knowing what I'm going to do.
Matthew 6:34 says: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." God instructs us to not worry. He tells us to focus on each day, one day at a time. Yet so many of us forget this.
I used to dance. In dancing you have to follow the music. Music is always changing. You probably wouldn't listen to a song if it just did the same thing over and over. It's the change that you want to listen to, that you look forward to.
If we look forward to change in music, why can't we look forward to the changes in our lives? So many people, myself included, are worrying about the future and what tomorrow holds. We have so much anxiety that we forget to enjoy what is going on around us.
Jeremiah 29:11 says: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Knowing that God has my life in his hands is an awesome feeling. The fact that he knows everything that's going to happen and has reasoning behind it is hard to fathom but I believe it to be true.
I'm constantly having to remind myself of the changing music, and to look forward to the changes in my life. I can't grow if I stay here. I'm constantly in prayer. I'm constantly leaning on God for more understanding. Listen to the music, and follow it.
