October 21, 2015. The day Marty McFly visited in the ‘future’.

We all wanted to believe that there would be hover boards available by now. But, low there are no hover boards like Marty used. Nor are there Nike shoes that fit to your foot by pressing a button (that would actually be very handy for me, but that is a whole other story).

If you were a child of the 80’s you have likely seen the movies and waited patiently for October 21, 2015. It was all over the internet today. It is an unofficial (or maybe an official) Michael J. Fox day for many of us.

On my drive today, I was really hoping to see a DeLorean. But that did not happen 🙁

At the end of the third movie Marty asks Doc about a blank piece of paper that he brought back from the future. Doc explains to Marty “It means your future hasn’t been written yet. No one’s has. Your future is whatever you make it.”

So how I am going to tie this into a bible verse? If we look at  Matthew 6:34 from the Message:

Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t Get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

We don’t need a time machine to take us to the future. In fact, we need to only focus on what is going on right now. Do not get worked up about the future. The future is unwritten. But if we stay close to God, he will help us when the time comes.

Sorry for the duplicate verse today, but Happy Back to the Future Day! (And I’m pretty bummed that it doesn’t look good for the Cubs to win the World Series)
