Thank You for joining me today! May His Word uplift and strengthen you for THIS day!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6: 34
Let us take ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!
Let us ENJOY the day our Lord has BLESSED us with!
There is already ENOUGH in THIS day to handle…
(that is an understatement-ha! )
…why are we worrying about tomorrow already??
Who knows, we may not even be here tomorrow!! Our Lord might call us HOME !!!
(Oh, Happy Day!!!)
Remember the Israelites in the desert? God gave them “manna” (bread to eat) for each day! Not for 2 or 3 days, but 1 day!!! They were to gather enough just for THAT day, no more! But some of them tried to save some for the next day and by morning “it was full of maggots and began to smell.” (Exodus 16: 20b) They were not to think about tomorrow but to TRUST God that He would provide for each day!!!
When we think and worry about tomorrow, it becomes OVERWHELMING!!! Not that we aren’t suppose to be smart and plan for our future, but not to worry and become obsessed that we don’t enjoy what is in front of us THIS DAY!!! Let us not miss out on the JOYS of Today!!!!
Our Heavenly King, we THANK YOU for the example You give us in Your Word of the Israelites and how You Provided for them day after day after day!!! Help us to remember Father to TRUST You for each new day!! Especially, when trouble hits (“as each day has enough trouble of its own”), help us to draw strength from You!!!!
May we ENJOY each moment You give us!!!
Enjoy our time with You!
The gift of music, daily bread, shelter, rest, …!
Your sunrise and sunset!
Enjoy Your Word!!!
Enjoy each other- family and friends, those You place in our lives!
Praising and Worshiping You!!
The opportunities put before us to spread Your Love and Truth!
The smile of a friend and/or stranger!
The encouragement from others, sent to us from You!
The birds, the quacking ducks and geese, the beauty or Your earth!
Enjoy the kindness shown to us!!
We always Enjoy being in Your Presence!!
As we face the troubles of THIS day Father we Thank You that there is so much to be thankful for!
We ask that You give Your Strength, Comfort, Hope and Peace to….
…those that are who have cancer (Terri, Pete, and Grace Turco)
… those that are grieving,
… who are depressed,
… those who are feeling hopeless,
… and who are financially burdened,
Help us all to TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!
May we stop and smell the roses and ENJOY Your Many Blessings!!!
In Your Son’s Precious and MIGHTY Name we pray. Amen.
