Today is the tomorrow that you worried
about yesterday. He says, “So do not worry
about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will care for itself.”
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Ain’t that the truth?
Come on, tell the truth and shame the
devil. Most of us are being crucified
between two thieves: yesterday and tomorrow.
The regrets of yesterday, the uncertainty
of tomorrow and we still got to deal
with the trouble of today. He says,
“Don’t borrow from tomorrow.” In other words:
This might happen tomorrow, this might happen tomorrow,
this might happen tomorrow, this might happen tomorrow,
All these things might happen tomorrow.
How am I going to make it tomorrow? When you
withdraw from the bank of tomorrow, you’ve
increased the burden of today. And you gotta
pay interest on both. So, you’ve added to
yourself a burden you were never meant
to have. Listen to me, it’s
okay to plan for tomorrow. The Bible
talks about planning. You can plan for
tomorrow. What you can’t do is get
unraveled about tomorrow. You can’t worry
about tomorrow. Why? Because the only
thing God is promising you is enough for
today. Lamentations 3:23, “His mercies are
new every day.” “Give us this day our daily bread.
God is only guaranteeing you today. So,
when you start thinking about tomorrow
you’ve gone farther than God has
promised. Well what about tomorrow? He’ll
meet you there.
Today has enough trouble of its own. And
you know if you can’t even deal with the
stuff in your face today, you’re not
gonna be able to handle that plus
tomorrow’s stuff today. He says,
“Do not worry about tomorrow.” All I’m
trying to tell you—look at
your neighbor and say, “Stop it! You can’t worry
no more. You don’t have a right to it.” It’s a
sin to worry. You’ve insulted your father
when you worry.
Because you’ve said to your father: the
birds can trust you, the flowers can
trust you, but I can’t trust you. You’ve
insulted God. But if we had a testimony
service here today
and if we could invite the children of
Israel, the children of Israel would
testify: “We were in a wilderness and we
didn’t know where we were going to get
water and where we were gonna get food,
but God had food in a rock and rain down
cornflakes from above. If the widow of
Zarephath was here this morning, she would
testify, “I was down to my last meal and
me and my son had only one meal left. But
when I put God first with Elijah, God
took that bread, He took that oil, He
multiplied it and gave us enough to
retire.” If the disciples were here to
testify this morning, they could tell you
they were with 5,000 men, not counting
women and children, and they didn’t know how they were gonna feed
them. But a little boy with some sardines
and crackers gave it to Jesus first and
Jesus multiplied it, fed
5,000 women and children, and had twelve
baskets full left over.
If Jesus were here, He could testify from
John 6, “I am the bread of life. He that
cometh to me,” He said, “will not thirst.
And I will give him living water and I
will feed him the bread of life.” Somebody
oughta bless His name up in here,
that God can be trusted
even when you don’t know how He’s gonna
do it, when you put him first.
