Day 317 One Day at a Time




Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34


Do you know this saying, "The two days that people worry most about but should actually worry about the least are yesterday and tomorrow." We can't control either of these. They're out of our grasp and a waste of energy

When we don't waste our worries on yesterday or tomorrow, we are...free to live in the present. Today you can make decisions about your life. Today you can set your course, take off in a new direction, or alter your path. Sure, you'll still make your share of mistakes, and you'll still have worries. Each day brings enough to be concerned about, but they get unbearable when the worries of the past and future gang up on us too.

Jesus teaches us to live one day at a time. He knew that so much of what we worry about is out of our control. He wanted us to understand that God gives us today. As we live our lives seeking Him, we are in a safe place. Jesus promises that our heavenly Father will provide us with everything we need.

Do your best to live today, just one day at a time! Most of the things you worry about will never come to pass! And, when you find yourself tempted to worry again, remind yourself that, “Your heavenly Father knows all your needs, and He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.” Matthew 6:32-33
