In The Now!

In the Now!

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:34 KJV

Easier said than done! Life itself is full of suprises and unexpected twists. We can lay down the best plans and just one simple event will turn everything upside down. Life itself is unexplainable; there are too many parts to it that you cannot legislate on or predict. Yet, today's extract says: 'Do not worry about tomorrow'.

The only way today's extract will make sense is if you are connected in the right way to the right source. What is the right connection: today's extract was addressed to the disciples and those who followed Jesus. The foundation of a life free of worry is a life full of faith. When faith fills all, there is no room for fear. The moment you take your eyes off the One who sustains, you see the ones who are pretenders, who claim they can help you but are themselves powerless.

Built into each day by the One who made the day are the resources that day needs to be a success. That's why the Bible says:
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24. If you know what power, wisdom and grace have been built into each day that God allows you to experience, you will realise the futility of worry and the importance of faith.

Built into each day also is the 'evil' by the prince of this world. The devil also works to make sure the day has no joy, but then the point is this: what you get out of the day is a function of who you know, follow and obey. When you have sorted out your allegiance, you are bound by the rules of the game. When God is your leader and guide, the day will always turn out good, no matter what the fine details are. When God is your father, every thing required for life and Godliness is guaranteed. Who's in charge? Who do you answer to? His time of favour is here.
