Do Not Worry About Tomorrow | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | May 26, 2023

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Matthew 6:34 

Over the last few years, the very real uncertainty of things in our world can turn many into nervous creatures. Constantly before us is the path of fear or of faith. How do we not allow our thoughts in the natural override who we are in Christ? Jesus spent time in Matthew 6:25-34 addressing this very topic of anxiety.  He knew that the things of life can consume us...much of it basic survival-type things (food, clothing, shelter).  When we look at the world around us, we start to wonder if some of those things will be threatened. 

Here’s what I believe happens as we trust Christ even in the midst of uncertainty:  He takes care of us and He provides.  We think it’s all up to us and we have to figure out the ends somehow.  In reality, it is God Who makes a way through any season.  I love the promise from Psalm 37:25:  I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.  To me, this verse states very plainly, the righteous will be alright.  No matter what tomorrow brings, God will not fail His people.  He is good and cannot deny His own nature.  We will not be forsaken!

Question for today: What specifically has you worried right now? How is the Lord calling you to lay aside that concern and trust Him?

Pray: God I thank You that each day is an opportunity to know Your peace and to not be afraid of tomorrow.
