Tomorrow Has Enough Worries

Introduction: Are you worrying these days? Jesus understands. In fact, He gave both His disciples and us today some instructions about anxiety. Should we worry? Or should we be free from worrying? After discussing other earthly matters, Jesus spoke on why we should not worry.
1. Our Heavenly Father knows our needs for every day! (Matthew 6:25-32) – “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin…..30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”
I love this illustration our Lord used to demonstrate how much our Heavenly Father knows our needs. The God of creation is the God of salvation and is in control of every situation!
2. Our top priority is to seek the will of our Father, and then He provides for His children! (Matthew 6:33) – “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
First things first! Jesus #1! Is He #1 in your life? If not, why not choose to enthrone Him and dethrone self?
3. Worrying about things we can’t change in the future robs every believer of the peace of God and the joy of the Lord for today! (Matthew 6:34) – “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.”
Today has enough troubles. Why take on more care?
Conclusion: Are you worried today? How about troubles for tomorrow? Instead of worrying, why not trust our Heavenly Father? Put Jesus Christ first and watch what He does in your life! He’s the best!
