Why Worry
 
 
Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.  (Matt 6:34)
 
 
If we are not careful we can begin to put "feast or famine" ideas into practice in our day-to-day experiences.  We can become so preoccupied or even worried about tomorrow that we begin to miss living today. Today is hard enough for most of us to work out.  Who among us can carry today and tomorrow on his/her shoulders?  A wise man once said that no one had ever succumbed from carrying today's weight on his shoulders...we are only brought down when we try to carry tomorrow's concerns as well as today's.  Jesus put it another way in The Lord's Prayer.  He said, "Give us this day our daily bread..." .
 
He knew that all we really need is "today's" portion.  We don't need to overly concern ourselves with what we may or may not face tomorrow and we don't need to become obsessed with imagined troubles that may never even come.  Instead, let us be thankful this day for God's provisions.  His grace is sufficient for anything that may come our way today.  And better yet, His grace will be sufficient for anything that will be our lot tomorrow.
Selah!
 
 Are you one that worries about tomorrow so much that you miss living today?  You will also miss opportunities to serve the Lord today if you are preoccupied with tomorrow. 
 
 
 How long has it been since you ask the Lord to take you and use you today?
 
 
 Do not let the fact that you will be going on a mission trip in the near future keep you from doing what the Lord has planned for you to do today. 
 
 
 Be willing to do at home what you will be doing on the mission field, sharing the Love of Jesus with those you come in contact with.
