” Take therefore no thought for the morrow—“(Matthew 6:34)
O how often we need to remember those words from our gracious Redeemer! We all tend to worry too much and most of our worries pertain to our fears of the future. I found these following words from an unknown author in my files and they serve as a good reminder of our Lord’s words:
Every day let us renew the consecration to God’s service; every day let
us, in His strength, pledge ourselves afresh to do His will, even in the
veriest trifle, and to turn aside from anything that may displease Him.
He does not bid us bear the burdens of tomorrow, next week, or next year.
Every day we are to come to Him in simple obedience and faith, asking
help to keep us, and aid us through that day’s work; and to-morrow, and
to-morrow, and to-morrow, through years of long to-morrows, it will be but
the same thing to do; leaving the future always in God’s hands, sure that
He can care for it better than we. Blessed trust! that can thus confidingly
say, “This hour is mine with its present duty; the next is God’s, and when
it comes, His presence will come with it.”—–That’s good advice!

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday
