Focus on the Now

“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)

'My experience has validated this truth time and time again. Jesus’ point here is we worry not only about things we cannot control, but also about things that often don’t matter. While the context of His warning is about how we fret over material things, the truth He is teaching transcends materialism. We can never really be sure about what tomorrow may bring, but we always know what today has brought. Jesus’ point is we should focus on what we know and not what we think. What happened today is always known. What happens tomorrow will always be up for debate.'


With us getting ready to move cross country I have been very worried about what tomorrow will bring. I have been so focused on what's going to happen rather than what is happening. This verse really made me think a lot about how I have been viewing things. I know now that I must hold onto today's events and mainly focus on what's currently in front of me. God has everything under control. Whether good things happen or bad things happen I know that with my faith, God will come thru! God has already prepared this day for me and now I must do what needs to be done with it. God sees tomorrow, I don't...so why worry when I know God is in control!!
