Elizabeth Barrett Browning once said, "Light tomorrow with today." I'm bit quite sure but I think she's talking about planting a certain type of seed: doing things each day -- even when today is a little dark -- to ensure that tomorrow is a little brighter.
This would include, for example, continuing to put money in your savings account even when things are tight financially right now. Or continuing to give your best effort at work even when your future with the company is uncertain. Or continuing to nurture a relationship that might not survive the current storm. Light tomorrow with today!
Regardless of what we're going through today, we need to continue to plant seeds for tomorrow. Sometimes it feels futile -- the future has a way of appearing all too uncertain -- but we can trust in God's goodness. Isaiah promises, "God will greatly bless his people. Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up." (Isaiah 32:20)
By planting seeds today, we are shining a light into tomorrow. No matter how dark it is today, you can begin planting seeds of light for tomorrow. God's faithfulness will ensure a great crop.

I am really looking forward to the next few Sunday's when Pastor Del plans to talk about how to discern the Holy Spirit, and also about speaking in Tongues.
Those are two issues I could never rightly understand...
I've always been envious (for lack of a better word) of people who feel sure about the direction God wants them to take. I know that I don't always delve into the Word of God for answers like I should, nor do I pray enough..
But I so want God's Holy Spirit to wrap around my heart, and that of my family.
I can't wait ...
