Already There

"When I'm lost in the mystery
 to You my future is a memory
cause You're already there.
Standing at the end of my life
waiting on the other side
 and You're already there.
You're already there."
 -Casting Crowns

This song has been on my mind lately. It's like the song was written straight to my heart. It is just what I needed to be reminded of. The decision of where I want to go and what I want to do in the future has been on my mind a lot lately. It's so hard not knowing.

God keeps reminding me that He is in control and that He has a plan, and I truly believe that.

But then I have the days when I let myself forget Who is in control, and I start stressing about all that I have to decide, all that I have to do, and so on...

And then God whispers, "You're not in this alone, my daughter. I know the plans I have for you, and they are good. Stick with Me, and I will guide you."

 I was having one of those forgetful days, when I heard that Casting Crowns song on the radio.
God knows! He is already there, in MY future. What an awesome thought! When I think about the future, I don't need to stress or worry because my God is already there. And He cares for me, He loves me. So why am I worried?

Let that sink in. The God who loves you, who cares for you, who is all-powerful, He is already in your future. He sees it all, and He is in control.

It's a daily decision to give this worry, these decisions, to God.

Give it to Him, because it is better in His hands than in yours or mine. He is in control, and He is good. So let go of your tight grip on the future (which you and I can't control), and trust God (Who can control it) with it, because He is in the future already.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
