Your Future Self Is Watching
Day 226 of 365 • FITNESS
“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.”
— Proverbs 6:6–8 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
When I was younger, I rarely thought about the man I would become. These days, I think about the man I hope to be ten years from now.
The interesting thing is that the man I become ten years from now is largely being shaped by the decisions I make today. Not dramatic decisions. Ordinary ones. The walk. The workout. The prayer. The date night.
God gives us ordinary days and allows them to become extraordinary lives.
Jesus in Action
Jesus lived with eternity in mind. Every ordinary day was connected to a greater purpose.
Forged Wisdom
Musonius Rufus wrote: “Those who desire to live well must practice living well.” No one stumbles into excellence.
The No Limits Challenge
Ask yourself: “What would my future self thank me for doing today?” Then do that.
Prayer
Father, help me make decisions that honor You and bless the future You’ve prepared for me. Amen.
