My husband likes to listen to Joseph Prince messages as he
gets ready to leave for work every morning. He has his iPad moving from room to
room with him, as he listens to Joseph Prince preaching on it. And as I go about doing my morning stuff I catch
parts of the messages too sometimes. A
part of one of the message really spoke to me and I was really blessed by it.
He said that God gives us His Grace to sustain us through tough times and also
that we get a fresh supply of His Grace each morning to help us through the day…
to carry us through the day.
There is a reason why God said not to worry about tomorrow. His Grace is enough to get you through the day. Tomorrow you will receive a fresh supply of His Grace to help you through tomorrow. And mostly we find that we sit and spend months and years worrying about something, which eventually goes real smoothly and beautifully. The thing is God’s Grace will cover your problems for today… which is why today’s problems do not seem as hard as tomorrow’s because God’s Grace carries us and sustains us through it.
God promises that His Grace will be there through every tomorrows that we have to face. But if we try to carry tomorrow’s burden today itself, we carry it on our own… which ends up causing a lot of stress and a lot of worry… which eventually leads to depression.
It’s something like manna. You would receive enough for the day and you trust God for tomorrow’s supply.
I’m not saying not to plan for tomorrow. Definitely make your plan and commit them to the Lord but do not worry about them. God’s Grace will be there to work things out for you. To make things the best for you. As a parent, I know how much my life has changed after having a baby. My priorities, what I buy, what I eat, what I do throughout my day, the songs I sing, my daily activities… everything revolves so much around my baby. If I feel this way as an earthly parent, how much more would God do for us. He will go before you and solve all your problems.
He will fight your battles for you. He will fulfil the desires of your heart. He will prosper you and bring you success. He will bring joy, harmony and peace into your situation. But we need to trust God.
When we don’t worry and are joyful and peaceful, we allow God to act. We tell God – I trust you with my tomorrow. God loves it, when His children trust Him. Even when it’s dark all around, if we can look up and say – God I trust you – I am sure that would make God so proud of us, His children.
So don’t worry about tomorrow. His Grace has already been made available for your and my tomorrow. Tomorrow will be Beautiful.
Lamentations 3: 22 – 24 - Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Matthew 6: 34 - … do not worry about tomorrow…
John 14: 27 - … Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
2 Chronicles 20: 15 - … For the battle is not yours, but God's.
