1346Matthew 6:34
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm24[/bible]; [bible]matth24[/bible]; [bible]isaia5-6[/bible]
I define worry as mental turmoil due to wishing the past events or expecting the future ones. This situation is different from what God wants: He wants us to be a man and woman of “today”. Thinking too much about the past and the future is a waste of time.
In John 8:58, Jesus said that He is before Abraham was. In this case we are taught to stand firm in God who always be there to help us. Furthermore, in Matthew 6:34, Jesus stated that we do not have to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. In other words, your problem is sufficient for one day.
He also convinced us to be quiet for He has provided everything we need. But above all we must seek first the kingdom of God, and He will add to us everything we need—whether it is food, clothes, or home, or our spiritual growth (see Mat 6:25-33). Leave the past behind and focus on today!
Be quiet and relax! Laugh more and worry less. Stop ruining today with yesterday’s or tomorrow’s worry. Stop wasting our precious “today” that will never happen again. When the damaging thoughts come again, think about what you can do today.
Learn from the past and prepare for the future, but live in the present.

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
