So
Don't Worry About Tomorrow,
For
Tomorrow Will Bring Its Own Worries.
Today's
Trouble Is Enough For Today.
Scripture
Matthew
6
25 “That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have
enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more
than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look
at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns,
for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more
valuable to him than they are?
34 “So
don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own
worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Observation
I
love this Bible passage. It is one of my favorites. It has taken me
through some rough times. It is one of my go-to chapters in the Bible
when I am struggling.
Life
is brutal. It is filled with lots of uncertainty. It is filled with
lots of 'what ifs'!
Matthew
6 and Philippians 4 are two of my favorite chapters that I go back to
often. Both of these chapters encourage me when I find myself
worrying about something. Maybe they would help you too. Why not
spend some time reading these two chapters today! In fact, I
memorized Philippians 4:6-7 to help me deal with worrying.
The
key to successful Christian living is found in Matthew 6:33, “Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will
give you everything you need.”
What
a promise!
Put
God first and He will take care of everything that we need!
Application
When
I begin to worry I will put Matthew 6 and Philippians 4 into action.
I will pray.
How
about you?
Philippians
4
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, as I write this I know of people struggling with huge issues.
I am praying for them. Help them to put Matthew 6 and Philippians 4
into action. Show them that they can trust You. Show them that
worrying about their problem will do nothing to help their situation.
Show them that they can rely on You. Show them that You are enough!
Help anyone reading this blog make the decision to be in church this
Sunday! Give them courage and the boldness to do what they know is
right.
