"We all have goals and aspirations, but our primary job isn't to envision great things in the future but to tackle today's work with enthusiasm."
Robert J. Morgan
The Lord Is My Shepherd p.7
Howard Books 2013
As For Me
I could receive Morgan's words as a rebuke: focus; quit throwing your energies so far out. Pay attention to today--to what's in front of you. Pursue excellence in the now.
I actually receive his words as comfort. I'm in a season where one day at a time is about all I can handle. I have permission to do that -- to give my energies to enthusiasm of what today holds. I can have more enthusiasm today, if I don't let tomorrow steal it.
The Lord IS My Shepherd. I Shall Not Want.
