Sufficient unto the Day is the evil thereof
(Matt. 6:34 KJV)
The year 2022 is fast approaching and although things may not seem that they are progressing, I am in a better place. How about you? How are you feeling during this pandemic when you are unable to meet up with extended family, friends, or acquaintances, as often as you would like? Regardless of how we feel, we should resort to what the Bible says about worrying.
The Bible states that “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” This means that you and I should not worry about the future, since today has enough troubles of its own. I have decided to be content with life and happy with what God has given me at this time. He knows how much I can bear, and He would not give me more than I can bear. Contentment also suggests that I am willing to work with what I have received. What does that mean? Although I am caring for our special-needs daughter and that is difficult sometimes, I can do this because God is with me. He is with you also as you go through difficulties. As I go through my daily struggles, I realize that the Holy Spirit guides, keeps, and carries me, as I go through my journey. I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength, so I have given up worrying and feeling overwhelmed. When I have done all that I can do, I rest, and give all the worries to God. He is the One who is in control of my life.
In the past, my main worry was my daughter’s situation and what will happen to her when I leave this earth. Now, I do the best I can with her, and I concentrate on spending the rest of my life telling others about the goodness and the healing power of Jesus, and how He can help them with their life issues. Jesus died to set me free from my sins including worry and doubt. It is by grace that I have received salvation; I could not do this on my own. God has the entire world in His hands, and that includes you, our loved ones, and me. I can no longer worry when I know I have done all I could for my loved ones. All I can continue to do, is to pray and to put my loved ones in the palms of God’s hands. God loves them more than I do, and He has a plan and purpose for their lives and those of your loved ones.
