Future Focused-What am I missing?

Sometimes I look so far into the future that I cannot appreciate the blessings that are in front of me.  

The other day I was turning right into traffic.  There was a line of cars stopped at a red light and I did not expect to be able to get into traffic until all of the current cars passed.  I looked far into the distance to see how many cars would need to pass me prior to my ability to pull into traffic.  Because I was looking so far into the traffic I did not see that right in front of me there was a gentle soul stopped to let me turn in front of them.

How often do I do the same with God?  He is offering blessings right before my eyes, yet I am looking so far into the future that I cannot see it.  

How often do you do the same?

You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Psalm 139:5

"The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Dueteronomy 31:8

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing:24 ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you.25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.26 May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’27 Whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them.” Numbers 6:22-27
