Matthew
6:34
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(NIV)
Tomorrow
Several nights ago, I didn’t sleep. I was stressed and worried about something I
was going to have to do in a few days. I
was full of “what ifs.” I tried to tell
myself it would be covered in prayer and God would be with me but that didn’t
help the stress and worry. I had already
done the same thing a week before and it was very costly and difficult. Granted, it could have been even worse, but
God did protect me. A few days before
this event was to take place, I was told I didn’t need to do it. What relief.
But what peace was wasted by my stressing out over what might be but
turned out not to be. Jesus gave such
wonderful advice. We don’t know what
tomorrow will bring. We don’t really
know what the next hour or minute will bring.
Stressing and worrying about what isn’t right in front of us is a waste
of time, energy and emotion. How
wonderful that we need not do that. We
can choose to be in total peace because we have a loving and powerful Father
Who has promised to meet all our needs and give us a full and abundant
life. Our Father always keeps His
promises. He holds all our tomorrows in
His loving, powerful hands.
