Have you ever lost today worrying about something that might happen tomorrow?

Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.”

In other words, don’t borrow tomorrow’s trouble and bring it into today.

My friend, God has given you grace for today.

He has given you strength for today.

He has given you what you need to face today.

But when you start carrying tomorrow’s problems today, you are trying to carry a burden God has not asked you to pick up yet.

Some of us are worried about conversations that haven’t happened, problems that haven’t developed, bills that aren’t due, decisions that haven’t been made, and situations that may never even come to pass.

Meanwhile, we are missing the blessings God has placed right in front of us.

Remember how God provided manna for Israel? He gave them enough for each day.

And that is still how God works.

Tomorrow may have some challenges, but tomorrow will also have fresh mercy, fresh grace, fresh strength, and fresh provision.

So don’t spend today living in tomorrow.

Do what you can do today.

Pray today.

Trust God today.

Love the people around you today.

Enjoy the blessings He has given you today.

And when tomorrow gets here, the God who took care of you today will already be there.

You don’t have to figure out tomorrow.

You just have to trust the One who holds it.

One day at a time, my friend. God will give you the grace when you get there.
