"TODAY, only today!"

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own"
 -Matthew 6:34

   When I read this verse the first thing that comes to mind is that we need not to worry about our provisions, daily troubles, money, ect... But God opened my eyes to something else. See, a few weeks ago at the community group (small group) that I go to, we were talking about not only does this verse mean provisions but it also means everything else that we are facing. One of my many struggles is with weight loss. So what would happen if I applied this rule to that struggle?

  What if I said "TODAY, only today!" to my weight loss? If I had the mind set to say that TODAY I will eat right. TODAY I will only focus on what I need to do today to succeed today, tomorrow will then become today and once again I will say "TODAY, only today.!"  can you imagine how freeing that could be? So I gave this a try. I woke up and said "Today I will only focus on today." and before I knew it Today turned into three days.

   I guess where I'm going with this is that God wants us to only focus on what is at hand and trust Him with the rest. When we keep Him in the mist of our focus and leave the rest to Him time goes by so fast that we don't have the time to worry about what will happen tomorrow. We will forget that this diet or that bill has to be maintained or paid each month and the fear of not sticking to it or being able to pay it goes away.
Trusting God in EVERYTHING that we go through gives us complete peace of mind and freedom from stress which leads to other health issues.

   Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough troubles of it's own. Give it to God and rest in today.

Father, THANK YOU so very much for giving us Your knowledge. The knowledge to give all of our daily lives to you. To let you take control of everything so that we have no worries. God please give us Your wisdom to apply that knowledge in every area of our lives. Lord it is a moment by moment struggle for us to give it all to you. But Lord, we know that through you we will have the strength to give our worries to you and rest in your peace. Lord we love you and thank you for loving us first.
In Jesus name, Amen-
