“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
Yesterday on the river was one of the best I have ever had! Did I catch anything. No. But my experience was unique and a reminder of how precious every moment we have here on earth is. God told us all our days are numbered and we have enough time each day to live it completely. His mercies are new every morning and live one day at a time are avenues in which we can create small stories within our bigger story.
I tend to live in the moment and try to suck as much out of a day as I can. I get up early and already my mind is searching how to spend the day. I often get caught up thinking that there won’t be a tomorrow and force myself on others. I press in. Yesterday was unique because I was told that I have some more tomorrows and that I don’t have to press in so much today. I’m thankful for their perspective into my life. It really has taken me all night and this morning to see that. Their patience has slowed me down…a tiny bit. I know my nature is to press in and yet I feel I need this other side to relax some. Balance. It’s what I miss many times.
Now I’m aligning myself with Christ who is in yesterday, today and tomorrow. I’m asking Him to settle me in more, to have more balance and to be freer this way. Such a heavy burden to take off my shoulders and yet I wouldn’t have seen it if they didn’t speak it to me. I’m thankful and a little scared and a little closer to where I need to be to reach into my story with my casting hand…
