Matthew 6:34 “Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.”
This text is part of what is known as Jesus’ “Sermon On The Mount.” He is teaching His disciples and His listeners who have also gathered to hear Him. Jesus reminds us that the goal here is to take one day at a time.
As I write, this blast from the past lingers in my mind - the lyrics from a Kris Kristofferson song:
"One day at a time, sweet Jesus
Thats all I'm asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
God help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time"
Anxiety, worry, fear, distress, agitation, tension, and irritability are all common feelings and emotions that attempt to mentally affect our decision makings on a daily basis. Jesus tells us in this text “to take no thought about tomorrow.”
Do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow. He does not want us making decisions based on fear of the future, which we have no control over. He wants the direction of our life built on and continued on an eternal perspective from eternal truths found in His Bible rather than temporal things of earth.
Take no thought about tomorrow! Every day has enough troubles of its own, so let your focus be on enjoying the day you have today.
Be Blessed!
