Jesus gives his disciples (and us) six reasons for
trusting in God rather than worrying….
Day
Six…MATTHEW 6:34 (MSG) “Give your entire
attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what
may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard
things come up when the time comes.”
Jesus points out that one has enough to worry about
for the day…without adding tomorrow's worries.
Yet when Jesus forbids us to worry about tomorrow…this does NOT mean
that concerns will never press upon us…It means instead that we should express DEPENDENCE
on God…IN EACH of these concerns.
We SHOULD pray for our genuine needs…provided we pray for God's Kingdom MOST of ALL! When we worry about tomorrow…we miss out on Today! Any problem we face CAN be handled…WITH God's help...ONE DAY at a time.
The next time you're under pressure, pray for the GRACE
you need to depend on GOD! Who IS
Perfectly and Eternally Worthy of your trust!
Amen
