Trusting God with the Future

October 15, 2014 by CJ Penn 3 Comments

I want to live more in the present, with my focus on the Holy Spirit of God within me, sharing my present with me. The other day I wrote about my tendency to live in the future (see it here). Right after posting that, it occurred to me that living in the present, and not trying to pre-plan my future, is a way of trusting God with my future.

Trusting God has been frequently on my mind lately. Now I’ve found another way to show my trust – leave the future to Him. Live in the present, with Him. And He continues to open my mind to the simple truths that make such a difference to my life. I’m so grateful. Thank you Lord.

I love writing - it gets me out of bed when it's way too dark, just so I can do some writing before heading off to work. I write because I’m passionate about God, Jesus, His Spirit, and His truth. And, I feel the Holy Spirit gets shortchanged in the world we call Christianity. The truth is sometimes lacking too.

i think you are on to something good… when we yield our control (which we dont have anyway) to Jesus, we are free to wait and watch as he provides, and leads.

I like this post. We can all certainly make use of what you’ve discovered about living in the present with His Spirit and letting Him take care of the future in this concise post.
