Tomorrow

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.  – Matthew 6.34

This idea of not worrying must be important. Jesus talks about it over and over trying to make sure that we get it. Here He repeats the phrase ‘don’t take any thought for tomorrow.’

It’s a little different context here. In the other verse Jesus talked about God knowing all of our needs. Here He is saying, in essence, ‘don’t borrow trouble from tomorrow.’ It is important that we deal with things that are going on today. Take care of these things. If we are too focused on what might or might not happen tomorrow we are not going to get anything done for today.

The reality is that we have no idea what tomorrow will bring. It could be full of its own troubles or its own joys.

Of course we need to be responsible and not be foolish and we need to take care of daily needs and concerns, but as far as worrying about tomorrow?

Let’s just deal with today and see what God brings us tomorrow.
