Be not Anxious
Matthew 6:34 ESV “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Have you found yourself being anxious? It seems we have periods of our lives when we are overcome with worry.
Perhaps our money just won’t last until the next pay period and that causes worry. We’ve worked hard but just don’t see the results of our labor, and that causes worry. Or we are aging and our bodies have seemingly turned against us, becoming limited in range and motion and producing more pain with each passing day.
The Word teaches multiple times that we are to confine our concerns to the day in which we live. The Israelites wandering in the desert tried to store up manna, but God taught them to rely on Him daily by allowing the food to spoil if it was kept more than a day.
When Jesus taught us to pray, we learned to ask for our daily bread. Not weekly, or monthly, but daily.
Jesus said the birds of the air and the lilies of the field are cared for by the Father, and so are we.
May we rely on our Father, relinquishing our worries, just for today.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
