Tomorrow

"And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

Colossians 1:17

It's sad how much time we spend worrying over tomorrow, isn't it?  Jesus knew that this would be a struggle, even for believers.  Open your Bible and you will see written in red letters, straight from the mouth of Jesus:

"Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.  

Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34)

On our own strength, this is impossible ... But take a look at the verse directly before:

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33)

When you and I seek Jesus - when seeking Him becomes our our priority, our focus, and our norm - we begin to trust Him in a way that is completely contrary to our human mind and strength.  

We are told in Scripture that our times are in His hands (Psalm 31:15), that He ordains the details of our lives (Psalm 139:16), and that we can trust Him to accomplish or perfect the things which concern us (Psalm 138:8).  

Jesus is already ahead of us, paving the way for whatever is around the corner.  You and I have the unbelievable privilege of being a part of this process - We just have to seek Him.  And we do that by reading His Word, praying to Him, and asking the Spirit of God to lead us.  I continue to be blessed and encouraged by knowing that regardless of what is happening in my today, He is already ahead of me ...

Standing in my tomorrow.
