"Today"...

“How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone.” (James 4:14)

You are here today by the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior.  With that in mind, why focus or worry about tomorrow (as it robs you of the joy that He has given you “today”)?  You have no idea what is going to happen tomorrow, so don't worry about it. 

You don’t even know what's going to happen the rest of today!

“Don't brag about tomorrow, since you don't know what the day will bring.” (Proverbs 27:1)

Tomorrow is God’s domain, not yours.  His sovereignty trumps any of your thoughts or plans for what you may wish or plan for your life after this day is done.

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6:34)

God wants you to enjoy today.  He knows your future.  He knows what’s in store for you.  Worrying about what’s going to happen next in your life won’t change a thing.

“Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Matthew 6:27)

Short answer to the above is “no”.  But, what you can rely on, are the promises of God to those who believe in Him. 

Do you believe it God’s path for your life?

“For I know the plans I have for you, 'declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Even when you are going through hard times, even sufferings you never thought possible, understand that God is STILL by your side.  God loves you.  God hasn’t forsaken you. 

​There’s a reason for why this is happening.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” (Romans 8:28)

Trust Him.  God knows what He’s doing. 

When you surrender your life to Jesus you can rest in the assurance that, even though in this life you'll encounter troubles, He has overcome this life and will continue His work in you until He comes again.

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” (Philippians 1:6)

​Amen.
