So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34 AMPC
Few Lessons:
1. The advice/command is clear- do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow. It couldn't have been clearer. It is good to make plans for the future- saving up money for tomorrow, planning for the children, clothes, bills, fees, food and obligations that will be due tomorrow.
2. While it is not bad to plan for these, the attitude is the key factor here. Am I planning so well that God does not matter in the equation? Have I gotten it so well laid out that nothing can ever go wrong? Have I focused all my energy on what I do not have now that I am not even grateful for all the things I already have? In all the planning, am I conscious of what God desires and have I planned in faith, knowing that God is the One who can bring all the plans to pass? Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Prov.16:3 NIV.
3. Each day God creates has its own provision from God, which will be sufficient for that day. Even with God, his mercies are new every morning. He knows our hearts are prone to worry and fear, so he assures us of his Power, Presence and Presents on a daily basis. Where then is the place of fear? Why do I fret?
4. Each day has its own troubles. You could make the best plans and God will throw all of them out of the window the next day. Make the plan, but put all your faith in the dexterity and ability of God, not in the soundness and perfection of your plans. God will never be moved, neither can he be moved by anyone.
That song says: 'Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand, but I know who holds tomorrow, and I know he holds my hand'. Is that your confession and reality or a dream and hope? His time of favour is here.
