If you are like me then you sometimes yield to the temptation to crowd today with either the anxieties of tomorrow, the regrets of yesterday or both. If you can think back to the times when you have done that then you will see how frustrating that left you every time.
That is not how God intended for our lives to be lived. As hard as it might seem and actually is, God wants us to live our lives one day at a time. The reason why this is so hard is not because that is how God intended for it to be but simply because our human nature does not like that option and very frequently opts for what it feels more comfortable with. We want to know that our tomorrow is figured out before we walk into today. We want to be able to say with certainty what we shall do today and tomorrow and the next day until it is time to leave this world so we worry and fret when we can’t.
God’s design is that we take one day at a time hence the words ‘sufficient unto each day is the troubles thereof’. All that you are experiencing today is enough for today and you don’t need to choke it with either yesterday’s failures or tomorrow’s anxieties. He gives us brand new mercies for each day that we may navigate through it safely as He leads the way. Therefore, the reason it seems like you lack what it takes to deal with today’s issues is that you are actually trying to apply a single day’s graces to either two or three days’ issues.
Today, resolve to live one day at a time and let me know if you do not experience any difference both in your attitude and stress levels. You will find my friend that life will be more fun and the burdens will be more bearable. Thank God for the mistakes of yesterday, learn from then and move on to thank Him for the blessings He gives you today for today and trust that He is in control of tomorrow.
Do that today and you will be screaming in delight before the day is over. :))
