“I am concerned about
the big business deal that I have to close tomorrow.” “I am worried about
tomorrow’s job interview.” “My medical test results will be out tomorrow. I am
afraid it won’t be good.”
God does not want you
to worry about tomorrow. He wants you to know that He gives you all the help
you need for today, and when tomorrow comes, so will fresh help from Him.
This is God’s
principle even in the Old Testament. When the children of Israel were in the
desert, God gave them fresh manna from heaven every morning (see Exodus
16:13–16, 31). They did not have to worry about tomorrow because when tomorrow
came, there was fresh manna again. He was their provision every day.
Today, God’s manna is
the grace He gives you every day. If you are worried about a situation
tomorrow, know that there will be sufficient grace for that situation when it
comes. God wants you to simply rest in His ability to heal, deliver, protect
and provide for you every day.
In the Old Testament,
when the armies of Moab and Ammon came against King Jehoshaphat, God told the
anxious king, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed…for the battle is not
yours, but God’s…You will not need to fight in this
battle…stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…” (2 Chronicles 20:15–17).
When the next morning
came, King Jehoshaphat saw how God caused such confusion to come upon his
enemies’ camp that it brought about their own slaughter. Amid all that fighting
in the enemy camp, God’s people merely stood still and saw Him fight the battle
for them just as He had promised.
My friend, when you
see a problem looming in your tomorrow, don’t be afraid or dismayed. Look to
the Lord, and see His grace and salvation deliver you.
God wants you to live
a stress-free life, not one filled with worries about tomorrow’s problems. When
tomorrow comes, His grace will be there for you as your help, protection, favor
and enabling! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used
