Give us today our daily bread.
—Matthew 6:11
Leroy lived his entire adult life aiming at fulfillment “someday.” Someday his ship would come in. He fell for every scheme that came down the pike: This was the one! He was going to be rich—someday. He never lived a day that wasn’t based on Nirvana—someday.
Are you counting on a someday for happiness and fulfillment? Have you set the date or the event that will signal when your someday has arrived?
Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow” (Mt 6:34). Paul took it to heart: “I have learned how to be content with whatever I have,” he wrote (Phil 4:11). And, “If we have food and clothing, we will be content with that” (1 Tm 6:8). That Paul! Always messing with us, isn’t he?
Make today your someday.
