DON’T TRIP ON YOUR TROUBLE

So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. [Matthew 6:34 (NLT)]

Our anxiety about everything that can go wrong tomorrow can cause us to miss enjoying everything that went right today. Occasionally, however, we’re so concerned about the potential predicaments of tomorrow that we overlook the obvious troubles of this day. While we’re busy contemplating all sorts of hypothetical future difficulties, we may fail to notice the problems or danger signs that are right in front of us.

Lord, stop us from focusing so intently on the mountains we might have to climb tomorrow. Don’t let us trip over the molehills that are in front of us today!

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. [Abraham Lincoln]
