A reminder for
today
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)
We are working to get our system in the cloud and each day seems
to bring more new challenges forward. It is frustrating at times as it is
exciting and to tell you the truth some days I am worried that we will not get
it all done. Our major challenges are basically speed issues and runtime related
problems thanks to our supplier. Just when you think all is well they seem to
add a little challenge unawares. What can I say – joy!
This is one of those verses. Jip, every time this one pops
into memory I am confronted with faith issues. You see, Jesus made it clear
that we should not worry about tomorrow, because today has enough challenges. He
reminds me today that I am often a worrier instead of a warrior. I work hard to
set a faith filled, God dependant example for my kids but if I worry, do I set the
right example?
I know it is nature for us westerners to worry about tomorrow
and the days ahead, but is that the Christian way? If you think about it, we are
all chasing money and earthly stuff all our lives and we often miss the point. Soon
money and material needs take the place of our Lord and we return to the empty
shell we once were.
So, today I want to remind you that you should not worry
about tomorrow, because tomorrow will take care of itself. Worry about now and
how you live and react now. This means that you should not leave that “I am
sorry” for tomorrow or that “I love you”, say them now and fight the enemy now.
Work to finish it now and get the stuff you are busy with done
now. Do not say tomorrow is another day, because tomorrow is not in our hands. Today
is a blessing and a gift, use it to the fullest and live a life that echoes
Jesus in all you do.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
