Do Not Worry


Matthew 6:34
"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Lamentations 3:22–23
"Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness."


There is a natural and strong impulse in our hearts to want to feel sufficient strength and ability for the future encounters we might face. We want to be able to look to the future dwell on it. What will my life be like in 10 years? Will I have a wife and children? What will my health be like? What will our church be like? What will tomorrow bring? Will I have the strength to live the day wisely and to the glory of God? So often we can be uncertain and worrisome about the future. We can go on desperately needing to feel the strength for tomorrow. However God has given us a great secret to the Christian life that will get us over that.
