You Can't Control the Future

Someone said: God's real providence has endowed us human beings with a considerable capability for foresight, and He evidently expects us to use it. He possibly never heard of one day at a time. This is a quote from Bill Wilson, who had a better grasp of the program than most people do. Failure to plan for the future is irresponsible, but there is a difference between planning for the future and trying to control the future. In active addiction we ignore the future. In sobriety, we do whatever we can to the best of our ability, and then turn things over to a Higher Power.
