"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 / New International Version
How bright do you believe your future to be? Well, if you are a faithful believer, God has plans for you that are so bright that you should pack several pairs of sunglasses and a lifetime supply of sunblock!
The way that you think about your future will play a powerful-role in determining how things turn out (it's called the "self-fulfilling prophecy" and it applies to everybody, including you). So here's another question: Are you expecting a terrific tomorrow or are you dreading a terrible one? The answer to that question will have a powerful impact on the way tomorrow unfolds.
Today, as you live in the present and look to the future, remember that God has an amazing plan for you. Act - and believe - accordingly. And one more thing: don't forget the sunblock.

Dear Lord, sometimes when we think about the future, we worry. Today, we will do a better job of trusting You. You are our Father, and we will place our hope and our faith in You. Amen.
