We can treat our present like a idol.

I think we take too seriously our present. We treat our lives as so important we forget God.  Responsibility especially towards the will of God helps us see our destiny and maintain its need. But don't get caught up in it till it creates strife. Sometimes I think it is Adam's curse effecting our work. But walk close to God as you work so the blessing is great. Maintain the need of destiny close to Christ so your walk is guarded. He shields us from harm, walk close and your safe as you follow his instruction. Enjoy life and enjoy him. Walk humbly with God.
