Looking Ahead
Our best havings are wantings. (C. S. Lewis, late British teacher)
Think about this: what do you really want? Anticipation of that desire may be best thing about it because its fulfillment could be disappointing. On the other hand, your yearning for it may be a hindrance. Here’s what ancient philosopher Seneca said, “Anticipation is the greatest impediment to living life. In anticipating tomorrow, we lose today.”
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. (Hebrews 10:23)
