Give Your Attention To What God Is Doing Right Now
-Matthew 6:34
Stop worrying about tomorrow
God has got our past settled and our future planned. God has covered our past and has our future supplied for. Forgiving our past sins and having plans and a budget for our future is not a problem for our heavenly Father. So, Jesus says to stop worrying about tomorrow.
Don't go to pieces
When we worry, we are unnecessarily dividing out energies. Jesus is saying, "don't go to pieces". The worrying that Jesus says to stop, is an anxiety that preoccupies you over your future. Jesus says,. "stop it, and live in today."
Don't miss today
A person who worries about tomorrow misses out on today. God has the future covered. He will be with you, when you get there. God is already in your future, if you consider that God is not in time.
God's mercies are new every morning
The Bible teaches us that God gives us grace for today and hope for tomorrow. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to and end; they are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22). God helps us in our daily problems. He knows about future problems, so that should help us to let them alone.
Walk with God in today
The way that the life of the child of God works, is that we walk with God in today. God is our safe place to hide when trouble comes today. He is always near or ever-present, when you have problems (Psalm 46:1).
What is God doing in your life?
So, the question is, "what is God doing in your life?" Being a Christian means we have become God's children (1 John 3:1). God takes care of his children. So, the issue for us is not the problems of life, but the care of the Father. How are you doing with being a child of God, a son or a daughter; fathered now by Father God? If you are a Christian, then that is what your life is all about.
Intimacy with God
We are capable of getting our attention onto issues and problems, conflicts and disputes, addictions and personal brokenness; when our attention needs to be on God and what He, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, are doing in your personal life. How is the into-me-see going?
Life is about you and God today
The beside your self, anxious worrying is like a person who's life is about UFO sightings. It is a huge distraction from right now, present reality. Life is neither about self-introspection or distraction. Life is about you and God today, right now.
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. -Matthew 6:34 (The Message)
