Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
When is today not today? When I live in the past
or long for the future. The days I can't let go of circumstances, the desire
for the "good old days," or a lack of resolve over hurt feelings. How
about the days I can't wait for vacation to roll around; or that longing for
the weekend that starts dogging me on hump day? Then there's the fretting; what's going to happen, will this work out, will that fail. Today cannot be
itself if I'm always looking back or leaning forward.
God wants me to let the past go. Learn from it,
appreciate it, but let go of any hurts and forgive. He encourages me to trust him
for tomorrow and all the days after that because he has them covered. Jesus
urges his listeners in Matthew not to be concerned about tomorrow. Don't worry,
each day has enough trouble without adding anxiety and stress.
God meets me every morning. He's with me each day. For that I am thankful.
