”If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. If you don’t wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes.” Senegalese proverb

I heard something on the radio recently that gave me pause. The message was that God wants us to confront our problems, as the speaker put it, to be a giant-killer, as in relation to the story of David and Goliath. It was a message that I needed to hear, a reminder that one of the big concerns in my life was not going to change if I continued to do nothing about it. Tomorrow would come, and it would still be there, just as much as it is today. So I made a commitment to take action, to make a phone call that I had been procrastinating about for a few days. It has not yet solved the problem, but I am now moving towards a solution rather than turning away from it. I still don’t know what the end result will be, and that is where my faith in my Higher Power has to take over. Tomorrow will be here whether or not I do anything about it. My choice today is to look at what action I can take, what problems I need to face to start making a difference in my life. May God grant me the courage to change what I can.

Affirmation I will be a giant-killer today. I shall run towards my problems and face them.
