Don't Worry About Tomorrow!

Sunday's Devotion (5-11-03)

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:34-35 (KJV)

Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and those things will be added to you. If we seek those things first, we will receive them. What are you seeking first? We must seek His Kingdom and His righteousness first. If we're whole heartedly seeking those things we will get them. The part that says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." is telling us not to worry about tomorrow. Why would it say that? We have so many problems. We have to pay the bills tomorrow and we don't have the money. Why shouldn't we worry? Because if we worry, we're doubting God's ability. If we worry we're in fear and we're not trusting God. So don't worry about tomorrow or today for that matter, trust God. If we trust God, we don't have to worry about anything. We're going to constantly run into problems and if we spend our life worrying about them and not trusting God, we're going to destroy ourselves. Without Christ, we can do nothing! If we keep trying to solve our own problems, we will never get out of them! Let's stop worrying about tomorrow and start seeking provision from God. Sometimes we have a problem of thinking that we're bothering God, with our problems. But God, wants us to come to Him with our cares. You might say, "Why would God, want us to bring our problems to Him? That's silly!" The reason He wants us to is because He loves us. If you have someone that you really love, you want that person to bring their problems to you. You want them to because you care and want to help. That's not the only reason He wants us to come to Him. He wants us to come to Him because He wants to make us happy and it glorifies His name, to do so. I had a really bad stomach problem almost two years ago. Every time I ate it would hurt so bad. One night it hurt so bad that it finally got me to pray about it. Right when I got done praying the pain was gone and it never came back! That tells me that our problems are no problem to Him. I couldn't get rid of that pain. I was taking meds and they didn't work. I ask God and right away He heals me. So don't feel bad taking your problems to Him, because they aren't problems to Him. If I would've took my problem to Him right away, I would've had a lot less pain. But we shouldn't just come to Him when we have a problem, but all the time. If we don't come to God, all the time then He'll allow a lot more problems in our lives. He'll allow them because He wants us to come to Him.

Dear Father in Heaven, we come to you with our problems right now. We realize that our problems are no problem to you. You have the ability to take care of all our needs. We ask you to do so. We also ask you to help us not to worry about tomorrow. Help us to seek your Kingdom and righteousness first, so they might be added to us. Also, I pray that you'd use this site to help others and bless them. I pray that this site would glorify your name. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus, name. A-men!

God bless!
