While I wait
Always concerned about what will be, always planning for tomorrow, always living in the future and never in the present. But yesterday today was tomorrow. I did not cherish yesterday because I was busy planning for today, planning how to overcome the day’s foes and enjoy it. But I can’t seem to enjoy today because tomorrow is again uncertain. I need to plan for it and remove any obstacles in joy’s way.
And this has become pathological, for today’s always and tomorrow remains uncertain. I find that I’m always waiting for or planning something, but when it comes or happens I don’t cherish it-because then the cycle must start again. It’s a circle of madness trying to make life perfect so I can enjoy it. Realising that joy does not come from without but within, will help me much. The bible long recorded;” sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”-so no matter how precisely I plan for it, tomorrow will have evil.
But writing this piece was to ask the question; what do I do while I wait? Okay, I think there are two things to consider here. One’s that joy is not when everything is fine and dandy. The other’s that while I wait for a solution to my problem, life should not stop and it must be lived today. Oh and, trouble will always be present.
Sometimes (If not all the times) the solution to one problem brings more problems."
-“Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”
>>Matthew 6:34
-"Oh, if we didn't have so many other things on our mind. You know, sometimes we'll come to church, thinking about, "Tomorrow I gotta do this; the next day, I've got to do this." When we come to church, we ought to lay aside every thought and every thing of the world, and enter into fellowship with Christ and worship: meditating, worshipping in our hearts, and giving songs and praises to Him, thinking of His goodness, and what He means to us, worshipping in the Spirit, singing spiritual songs, making melodies in our heart. Even the Bible said, "If there's any afflicted, let them sing songs." Be happy; be in meditation, always expecting God at any moment to appear to you."
