fulfilling his plan

If I would've woke up this morning and already started planning and hoping for what tomorrow would be like, I would not be fulfilling God's plan for my life. Or on the other hand...this weekend is my bachelor party. It's the first time I will see most of my best friends in months. I cannot wait. If I wake up everyday only thinking about that then all those days would've been useless. 

"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes" (James 4:14)

Life is short no matter how many years we live. Don't be deceived into thinking that we have lots of remaining time to live for Christ, to enjoy loved ones, or to do what you know you should. 

It's easy to put off your relationship with Christ. For some reason, in the midst of our busy lives, that's the easiest part to push off until tomorrow. I think about my day yesterday...it was extremely busy from the time I woke up to when I went to bed. When I sat down to read my bible last night I did it so quickly and lackadaisical that I don't even remember what I read. I remember telling myself that I would just spend more time in the Word tonight...

Work, friends, going out, time to relax, all these things, are easier to put before our relationship with Christ. The more we put Christ off, the worse the habits are that we build. 

When we live for God, we actually fulfill God's plan for us. 

I mean think about that. Every day when we wake up, make the most of the day, and live for God, we fulfill his plan. When we wake up thinking about other things, we get caught in the trap of trying to fulfill our plan. 

My hope for you is that you start to live for God daily! Start to think about God more. Start to pray more. Start to get in the Word more. Lets commit to fulfilling his plan.
