Leave tomorrow where it belongs

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring about its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today" Matt 6:34

I wonder what life would look like if we lived that way? Shutting the door to the past and future and just living the day that's set before us. Living life in one day compartments.Matt 6:27 says, " Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not".

I'm reminded of the children of Israel in the wilderness when they gathered manna each day. They were only to gather enough for each day, any extra would go rotten. The LORD was teaching them that he was their provider, and that He could be trusted. Or how He fed Elijah in the wilderness causing ravens to bring him food. Or how the widow's jar of flour and jug of oil miraculously kept producing during a time of drought. He's the same God for us today.
So, why do we strive and worry and fret about tomorrow when God has proven himself faithful over and over again?
I believe it comes back to giving control of our lives over to the one who knows us far better than we know ourselves. It comes back to unbelief. God created us for purpose. He knows why He created us and He knows what we need to carry out His purpose.
"And He will give you all you need from day to day if you will live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern" Matt 6: 33

LORD please, forgive my unbelief and help me to trust that your way is always best!
