“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34 NLT
“He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.” Psalm 103:12 NLT
There are two days that can steal the joy from today. One is yesterday and the other is tomorrow. Paul encourages in Philippians 3:13-14, “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” We are to forget the past — the guilt, the glory, the grief, and the grudges. Paul was one who was guilty, along with others, for the stoning of Stephen. He even admitted he is among the worse of sinners. But Paul buried that guilt in the grave of God’s Grace.
Maybe something has happened so horrible that we are afraid to think someone would find out what has happened. Ask yourself this: Have you really repented? Are you on your face in worship and adoration of God? How well does God know your heart? How well do you THINK God knows your heart? God knows what is going on. He knows before we do. Then don’t be haunted by the ghost of guilt. “Look forward to what lies ahead,” and press on.
On the other hand, in the depth of His wisdom and in His endless boundless limitless grace, God has ordered some trouble for us today and each day of our life. We’ve been blessed with difficulties. Yes, that is right — blessed! The worst thing that could happen to us would be not to have any difficulties. If we don’t experience difficulty, we would never know our need of the Lord. So in essence God says, “I’m going to give you sufficient difficulty for the day.” God gives us enough difficulty to draw us close to Him, but then God gives us enough grace to meet those difficulties every day.
God was with us yesterday. God will be there tomorrow. God is with us today.
And Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Let the trouble become joy.
Let the problem become victory.
Let the tears of sorrow become laughter.
Let the worry become focus on our God and Creator.
Let the action become God glorified.
Is there a difficult circumstance in our life? If so, thank God that He’s sending it our way to make us more like Jesus. He is sending His grace to teach us something today. When today becomes yesterday we will be that much more wise and strong.
Now let God shower us with His grace to be victorious through it!
