Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34
Jesus said it, but do we do it? Obedience of our Lord's words is of paramount importance to us. The key in obedience here comes in worry; that simple word with the big feet stomping through the garden of our peace. Reminding oneself of an appointment tomorrow is not worrying, but imagining a dire conversation with an imaginary doctor...best to confess that to the Lord and rest in Him. Worry, anxiety, dread, and many other words come rooted in fear. All of them cause bad things to happen in the body and can be contagious to our neighbors. And as we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, we need to bring our worries (yes, often plural) to the Lord and receive His peace. A good confession to the Lord our Savior is, "Lord Jesus, I am scared of this thing." Bring that burden to Him!
Tomorrow is a frightening place. Today is His day, and that is good enough for me!
