“This is the first day of the rest of your life.” In a time of uncertainty, this gives me hope.
At the same time, I read “Take no thought for the morrow, stick with today.” That encourages me to dismiss worse case scenarios and live for the moment.
But, what about living in the middle? What has gone before us and what is to come all encourage me.
Before: God has set up a plan to erase the bad and reward the good.
Now: God has given abundant life that is accessible every day.
Future: With God, in the end there is no end of joy.
