Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
In life, if we peer too far ahead of today, the challenges and goals may feel like a Mt. Everest climb. They can appear impossible to handle if we think we have to be ‘ready’ for the goal. With such a monumental sight in front of us we may never get ourselves to start anything. The bible reminds us that today is all we need to tackle. We don’t need to worry about tomorrow’s tasks because the thought of it could weigh us down so much we don’t even do what is required to be done today.
Imagine if Moses dwelt on the thought of how he’ll feed the Israelites for the whole duration of their journey. With what they had in hand, they would never have embarked on their deliverance trek. God took care of that mountain with manna – even at that He provided only enough for one day at a time (Exodus 16:4).
Every hill in life is too high if we think we must climb it all at once. But no hill is insurmountable if we take it one step forward at a time, with God’s help. Do you have a project you want to embark on, a work that will expand the kingdom of God, but are waiting to gather all the resources and solve the project before you start. It will only cause worry and delay. Trust God with tomorrow and do what you need to do today.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I have certainly procrastinated good works I should be doing for a perfect time when all is complete. I have dwelt in worry and anxiety that shouldn’t be mine to carry. Please forgive my unbelief, help me Lord as I start in faith and prosper my efforts with your provisions I pray in Jesus name.
