So, when I get ready for the day, I look in the mirror. My thoughts are not immediate but for the entire day. Some times I think my hair looks nice, but it is like one of those glamor shots of the windblown look. It may be fine immediately, but it will not endure the day well. That is what I think about Satan. He reigns in the immediate and appeals to many, but as a past stake president said, we already know the story and who wins. I am reminded of well-known study done by giving children one treat and promising to give another if they keep their one treat. Like my dad taught: often people trade what they need for what they want right now! I see everywhere people claiming that one can only know the now and planning for the future is rediculous. Likewise, I do not know exactly what aday holds, but I prepare for it like aboy scout when doing my hair for instance. I sacrafice a immediately trendy look for a dull one that will surely endure a day and still look the same.
