Matthew 6:34 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
“I
am concerned about the big business deal that I have to close
tomorrow.” “I am worried about tomorrow’s job interview.” “My medical
test results will be out tomorrow. I am afraid it won’t be good.”
God
does not want you to worry about tomorrow. He wants you to know that He
gives you all the help you need for today, and when tomorrow comes, so
will fresh help from Him.
This
is God’s principle even in the Old Testament. When the children of
Israel were in the desert, God gave them fresh manna from heaven every
morning. (Exodus 16:13–16, 31) They did not have to worry about tomorrow
because when tomorrow came, there was fresh manna again. He was their
provision every day.
Today,
God’s manna is the grace He gives you every day. If you are worried
about a situation tomorrow, know that there will be sufficient grace for
that situation when it comes. God wants you to simply rest in His
ability to heal, deliver, protect and provide for you every day.
In
the Old Testament, when the armies of Moab and Ammon came against King
Jehoshaphat, God told the anxious king, “Do not be afraid nor
dismayed... for the battle is not yours, but God’s... You will not need
to fight in this battle... stand still and see the salvation of the
Lord...” (2 Chronicles 20:15–17)
When
the next morning came, King Jehoshaphat saw how God caused such
confusion to come upon his enemies’ camp that it brought about their own
slaughter. Amid all that fighting in the enemy camp, God’s people
merely stood still and saw Him fight the battle for them just as He had
promised.
My
friend, when you see a problem looming in your tomorrow, don’t be
afraid or dismayed. Look to the Lord, and see His grace and salvation
deliver you.
God
wants you to live a stress-free life, not one filled with worries about
tomorrow’s problems. When tomorrow comes, His grace will be there for
you as your help, protection, favor and enabling!
