EXACTLY what I needed to be reminded of...TY Lord! In Psalm 23, David imagines tomorrow and evil, but he does not surrender to that evil. He says, "Even if tomorrow has me walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL (why?) FOR THOU ART WITH ME." There is evil, but in his imagination he sees the greater, which is GOD WITH HIM. He imagines God in all of his tomorrows. And, knowing God, he says, "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days (tomorrows) of my life." That is a correct use of the imagination, SEEING GOD WITH YOU. THIS IS SINGLE VISION... SEEING GOD IN ALL THINGS. So you take your tomorrows, that do not exist, and you take the specific person and the specific situation that is causing you to go off into "what if’s," and you take that person, that thing, and you just give them to God. And then when you think of tomorrow, it is basically saying that whatever happens, though it is a valley of deep darkness, I here and now say I believe in God, the Father Almighty. I will fear no evil for THOU ART WITH ME. Whatever tomorrows hold for me, my spouse, my children, my children’s children, surely goodness and loving kindness WILL follow (the word is "pursue" like hunting dogs) us all our days. Goodness and loving kindness are like those hunting dogs that ever pursue me and are always leaping upon me. They follow me, pursue me relentlessly, all the days of my life. Psalm 55: 22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
