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

Anyone feel anxious? Of course you do. Daily anxieties are a part of life. We’ve all heard the Bible verse: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” But we know it’s harder to live out these words than it is to say and read them. So how do we live out this Bible verse? What does the Bible say about hope for tomorrow? What a hard concept – especially for humans whose nature it is to worry and fret about a future we cannot see. We all wish we had a crystal ball that would show us our future. But our God doesn’t work that way. He asks us to trust in Him enough that He will take care of us tomorrow. We don’t need to worry ourselves about tomorrow because He has it all planned. The message of this part of Matthew 6:34 is that we need to trust in our Lord that He will take care of us in all of our days. Do you ever wonder, what will tomorrow bring? Are you already worrying and fretting about your to-do list for tomorrow? Growing anxious about the future is definitely human nature. But, through this verse, God asks us to not worry about tomorrow, to live in the present moment and only focus on what we have to do today. God wants us to be present in the here and now, knowing that He will take care of our future. God is working in our lives at the very present moment – He doesn’t want us to miss what’s right in front of us. Knowing that God is working in our lives at every moment, we don’t need to be anxious about tomorrow, we keep our eyes open for where God is in the present moment. This verse reminds us that we need to trust in the Lord and understand that He will take care of us every day of our lives. He knows what we need, even when we don’t. Too many times we get too caught up in what tomorrow holds; what the future may hold. Just focus on today and trust that God knows what you need tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes, let go of yesterday, and focus on today. Let the Lord give you a better today, that way He can give you an even better tomorrow.
