Facing the UnknownSample

FOCUS ON TODAY

Okay, you made it…day 5! Hopefully you’ve spent some quality time with Jesus this week, dealing with the unknown and your own anxiety over all the “what ifs” in your head. Today, we’re going to finish strong with the most practical way we can overcome our fear of the unknown. And the reason this is helpful is that it completely counteracts the enemy’s plan in getting you to worry in the first place. You see, when Satan can get us freaking out and paralyzed with fear of what’s to come, he can stop us from doing what God has for us right here and now. Fortunately, this is the thing we can probably control the most out of everything we’ve talked about this week. 

Instead of fixating all your prayers and energy on God, what’s going to happen? - we can shift our focus to God, what do you have for me today? It doesn’t give you any answers for what tomorrow holds, but as we’ve discussed all week, we don’t need those answers right now. But, here’s the best part: as we turn our attention to what God has for us here and now, all that future stuff starts to fade into the background. All the stuff that we can’t know and can’t control doesn’t matter as much, because now we’re focused on what God is doing right in front of us. 

Don’t miss what God has for you today because you’re too busy trying to figure out what’s going to happen tomorrow, or next month, or five years from now. God will give us exactly what we need for today, and he’ll show us what he wants us to do, where he wants us to go, or what he’s trying to teach us in this moment. There is such beauty in walking with Jesus day after day, and just watching the adventure unfold before you. Don’t let worry or fear of the unknown rob you of the joy God wants to give you…just take it one day at a time, and watch him work in ways you never imagined.
