Matthew 6:25-34. “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? 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? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink> What will we wear?’These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,live righteously, and your heavenly Father will provide all that you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for Today.”
We need to read that familiar passage from Jesus’ sermon on the mount often as a reminder. Mark Twain wrote,”I have had a lot of worries in my life most of which never happened.” I’ve also found that true in my life. When i think about tomorrow my mind always begins with “What if?” Even the things that have happened haven’t been nearly as bad as I had imagined. It is such a blessing when we can leave tomorrow and all of our needs in the powerful hands of God.
