25 “This is why I tell ou: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or
about your body, what you will wear….” 32b
…and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek
first the kingdom of God] and His righteousness, and all these
things will be provided for you. 34 Therefore don’t worry about
tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble
of its own. (Matthew 6:25a; 32b-34)
A Truth: God is perpetually
with us and caring for us as the Good Shepherd or the sheep. God is a good good Father who care for
us. This is the most important fact of
our existence. God’s presence with us is a forever promise which will not be
broken, not like human promises which are broken because of inabilities,
forgetfulness, or situation beyond our control.
We need not fear the future because He is already there waiting for
us. Because of this truth we should live
each day abundantly in its fullness. We do
not need to be distracted by future concerns. We should leave the future to the one who has the
future in His hands. As we trust our Heavenly
Father He will give us the peace and grace we need for this day.
