Tomorrow

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.  

Matthew 6:34 

What about tomorrow? As Christ is preaching His Sermon on the Mount, He addresses the issues that matter most for time and for eternity. He puts into perspective what is important and give us His perspective in order that we may, learn to view things as He does. The heart of true spirituality is seeing things as God does. This causes us to behold reality in such a way which will be different from anyone who takes the human perspective without regard for God’s view. To take the solely human perspective leads to high anxiety regarding the future. That is the ‘tomorrow’ of which Christ is speaking. Does this mean we should not have a savings account, insurance policy, or retirement plan? No, it is not a prohibition of any of these provisions. Rather, it is Christ’s way of bringing us to look to Him as the One Who holds all our tomorrows. We have no genuine control over tomorrow. We cannot know what it will bring. We could not control the events of tomorrow even if we did know what they are. Christ does know what tomorrow brings and has control over every event. What do we know? We know we can trust Him. This reduces our anxiety significantly. We know Him Who holds tomorrow.  

Our Wise and Sovereign God, 
we rejoice that You control all our affairs. 
We praise You that You work  
everything together for our good.
