Therefore do not
worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient
for the day is its own trouble. - Matthew 6:34
You could be
concerned about a big business deal that you have to close tomorrow, or worried
about a job interview you are about to take or even a marriage that is just days ahead.
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. He is always a present help. I remember a hmyn we used to sing those days titled "O God our help in ages past". Thank God we know better for such a song is embalmed in doubt and ignorance.
In the Old Testament we see this principle by God
at work. 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. The Dew laid the platform for the manna to
rest.
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.
Dearest, when you see a problem threatening in your
tomorrow, don’t be afraid or dismayed. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and see His
grace and salvation deliver you. God's provision is in Jesus and Christ is in you, the hope of glory.
God wants you to live a stress-free life, not one
filled with worries about tomorrow’s problems. Trust me, you were not created to
handle stress. When tomorrow comes, His grace will be there for you as your
help, protection, favor and enabling!
We have been given The First Born Blessing which is
the dew of heaven in Christ Jesus. God wants you to prioritize the dew of
heaven (His favour) first. It’s not that He doesn’t want you to have the
fatness of the earth. He’s saying, prioritize His unmerited favour in your
life, and fatness of the earth will follow!
