God is my future.

Today, during worship at church, Josh Harris came up on stage and prayed/said some things that really struck me in new ways.

One of the comments was something along the lines of "Lord, you are my future."

In one of my favorite John Mayer songs, it says "So scared of getting older, only good being young."
I tend to have this train of thought most of the time - scared and small looking at the future and the world I'll walk through it in.

While it isn't wrong to be miss childhood and realize that adulthood involves a lot, I think changing this perspective can helping me glorify God more, worry less, have more joy. etc.

IF THE LORD IS MY FUTURE
- I have a good and joy filled future.
- I don't have to worry about my job. It isn't my future. God is.
- I don't have to worry about who I will marry, if I will marry, if he will freaking die on me. God is my future, not my husband.
- My financial situation isn't my future.
- My grades aren't my future.
- Wasting time by making a decision or changing my mind isn't my future.

All these things are in my future.
God will work through these decisions and events to glorify Him.
But these things are not the core, the theme, the hope of my future.
God is my future and I couldn't be happier.
