A young woman faces temptations as she balances many responsibilities that could derail her long-range plans.
How to View the Future
When young people set down their digital devices for a moment to contemplate their future, their thoughts meander through their careers, family, and, to a lesser degree nowadays, God.
Each can consume the prime of life. Despite the contradiction, Delicia is a single mother who strives to balance all three. On weekdays, she goes to work after school. With no shortage of critics, she sits beside her son at church every weekend.
Relevance extends to the other end of life, as Esther keeps tabs on an elderly married prospect. Every year, she phones to ask about Terry’s wife, making certain she remains next in line.
Some in the elderly category become open-minded to every denomination to cover all bases. Others dig into their family’s religious tradition.
Prioritizing What’s Important
When should someone begin thinking about their future? The sooner the better, for certain. Several scriptures caution against accumulating material possessions without regard for one’s relationship with God.
Delicia speaks to her minister about her choices.
“The world is drawing away from religion,” she quips. “With a full schedule, could I cut out church?”
“You know the scriptures. We owe every breath to the Creator. Does that make him a low priority?”
“Of course not. I’m just so tired when I attend—and I could use the time for studying.”
“When you seek God first, Matthew 6:33 assures us that everything you need will fall into place.”
“Thanks for the reminder. I’d like to find a father for my son. Is that obstacle because he doesn’t forgive me?”
“No, my sister. We bear the load of decisions we make, but God is not punishing you. Children are a blessing to cherish. Keep your desires in your prayers, and you’ll attract a spiritual husband, if it’s in harmony with God’s will.”
“What if it’s not?”
“Then he will give you the strength to endure—with a sound mind. True happiness comes from helping others. It leads to fulfillment in life.”
“I appreciate that. Next Sunday, I’ll be here.”
“That’s good to hear. What are you studying in school?”
“I want to be a dental hygienist. Just a few more courses to go.”
“Ah. Helping people is a noble profession. Approach me any time for encouragement.”
Decisions Impacting Our Future
In the dental field, Delicia meets many people. A man exchanges contact info with her. Without mentioning her child, she agrees to meet on a date.
As the evening ends, she finds herself approaching a familiar situation that led to her last pregnancy.
She thought about the minister’s words and the progress she’s made. So she decides to wait for someone who’d be a good spiritual head of her family.
