WEDNESDAY THOUGHT 5/20/09

Tomorrow?

What me worry?  You bet!  I don’t know about you (though I have a sneaky suspicion you’re kind of like me), but I waste way too much time pondering the future. 

Well, here’s what I know about tomorrow:  (A) it will come, like it or not; (B) eventually we will die, be gone, departed from this earthly orb; (C) it’s all in God’s hands … all of it.  Soooooooo, from birthday until deathday, we have a few decades to live, laugh, give thanks, cry, suffer, rejoice, and pray.  That’s it.  I suspect we should make the most of them in joyful fellowship and faith-filled living. 

My point:  Just for today, I will try to not give a single thought to tomorrow, but live in the radiance of God’s present love on this day.  I will give thanks and rejoice.  Tomorrow?  Ditto. — jri

“Can any of you by worrying add a
moment to your life-span?  Even if
the smallest things are beyond your
control, why are you anxious about
the rest?  Notice how the flowers
grow.  They do not toil or spin.  But
I tell you, not even Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed like one of
them.  If God so clothes the grass of
the field that grows today and is thrown
into the oven tomorrow, will he not
much more provide for you, O you of
little faith?  As for you, do not seek
what you are to eat and what you are
to drink, and do not worry anymore.
All the nations of the world seek these
things, and your Father knows that you
need them.  Instead, seek his kingdom,
and these other things will be given you
besides.”
