Jesus tells us not to take anxious thought about
tomorrow. He does not say that we are not to think about tomorrow, make plans,
or to pray about the future. But we are not to worry as
it is fruitless and unprofitable. None of us can control our circumstances, or
add anything to our lives by worrying. It is a habit pattern of thinking that
can cause us great distress and halt our progress in life. We are really saying
that our heavenly Father does not care about every detail of our lives, when we
worry! Has He not said that even the hairs on our head are numbered?
Most of
our troubles are imaginary. Our forebodings about the future, our forecasts
about what will or might happen are just predictions and unfounded fears. The
Lord can, and does deliver from them. So if you are burdened today, bring it all
to Jesus, with thanksgiving, because He cares about you. As you discipline
yourself to lay the weights down at His feet, so you will experience release and
deliverance from the scourge of worry. The thing to concentrate on each day is
to put God first in every thing and live righteously in our relationship with
Him and with others. As we seek His kingdom first everything else falls into
place. Our heavenly Father knows what we need, and will take care of the
practical things in our lives. Our job is to seek Him and feed our souls on the
spiritual things available to us. What does it profit us to gain the whole world
, yet lose our own soul?
'Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will begiven to you as well.Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of
it's own' Matthew 6:33,34.
