Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-24

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Learning how to live in the now is important for a believer.

If we could focus on today and not get all distracted with the what ifs of tomorrow we would get more things done. And in doing so we would not even need to think about tomorrow.

Far too many children of God spend way too much time worrying. We are all similar in this area. And God is tapping us on the shoulder, telling us to get focused.

How can we focus on the thing we should be focusing on if we have the distractions of our worries pulling on us?

When I was young I would run the relay on the track team. I was usually the last one to take hold of the baton and run it to the finish line.

Do you think I was focusing on the others getting it to me?

Absolutely not. I was intently focused on my part of the race. And when that baton hit my hand, I would take off running. And nothing, nothing would get in my way. All I saw was the ribbon that I would run through. That was my focus.

It’s the same with every day that we live.

Pick that thing you need to get done and stay focused on it until you finish. Then move onto the next thing within that day.

Are we supposed to be thinking about what we will get done tomorrow? No. We are not, unless we are completely finished with today’s goal.

It’s not hard to do, unless our focus needs more focus. Then it will seem impossible and very chaotic. We will be running in circles all day if we do not focus on that one goal.

What does worrying about tomorrow do to us?

It takes our mind off of what we need to do today. This is something we all need to learn; that if we follow this step we will reach our goals every day, hence relieving our stress and anxiety.

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

Amen!
