"Do Not Worry About Tomorrow" - Matthew
« on: March 26, 2006, 04:52 PM »

what did jesus meant exactly when he said in matthew
"Do not worry about tomorrow let tomorrow worry about itself"

Did he meant something else about this because, how can one live today and not worry about tomorrow?

He did not mean we should not plan ahead. He meant we should not worry. Thinking is different from worrying. Think don't worry.

Right there, TYPOP.

The Bible shows indeed that worry and anxiety are counter productive to our lives; but it doesn't mean that we should not plan at all for the future. The issue is that some people plan anxiously (instead of planning confidently) - and therefore worry comes knocking. This is not a matter of placing our confidence or trust in ourselves, our resources or capabilities - that kind of attitude is decried in James 4:13-17.

Plan your life with confident trust in God, and don't be anxious about the uncertainties of tomorrow - for with God, the believer's tomorrow is blessed according to His will. That's one way to understand Matthew 6:34 - "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Well, I'm blushing now. All I can say is the praise to God alone.

I can guarantee you one thing: I don't know half of God's Word as you may suppose of me.  Undecided   But by careful study and disciplined application in my daily walk, you find me as I amlol.

Second thing is that God will bless your labour in His Word - who knows? - you might even surpass me and several others in a very short while (I'm not flattering you: I actually mean it!).

God can use any means according to His purpose, but the main thing (as you already know) is consistency in study and disciplined application. In my case, I was a bit lazy and w__d (!), until God used my wife to challenge me recently.

lordimpaq, I trust God with all my heart that you're a better teacher - if you blush now, someday God will show it.  Cheesy

Blessings.

We can plan for tomorrow but we ought not to worry about it.
