We are doing a study on Joseph's life at church. I signed up for it on a whim and until I showed up the day it began I actually had no idea what the study was about or what it was titled. I know, I know. What kind of person signs up for something she knows nothing about? But the thing is, if I had taken the time to read the title I wouldn't have gone anywhere near it. The title is, "keeping your focus WHEN YOUR DREAMS SHATTER". Knowing from experience that God often takes you through studies that either already are or are about to become very applicable, I very literally began to panic. I didn't know of any shattered dreams as of yet, so what was going to happen to me? When was the bottom going to fall out? Can I sneak out the door without anyone noticing?
I did not sneak out and nothing has happened. Yet. And I am not sitting here waiting for the ax to fall. I decided right away if it was going to fall the least I could do was enjoy the right now when my dreams are relatively intact. I'm taking to heart the "tomorrow has enough worries of it's own" thing. That is God's grace today. The grace God has ready to pour out on me tomorrow will not make my dreams shatter-proof, but it will make more real to me the truth, honor, righteousness, purity, loveliness, goodness, excellence, and worthiness of my God's love for me.
