Trust God For Today.....Don't Worry About Tomorrow

I am reading a book by E M Bounds called the "Necessity of Prayer".   In the book he writes,

"As every day demands its bread, so every day demands its prayer. No amount of praying, done today, will suffice for tomorrow's praying. On the other hand, no praying for tomorrow is of any great value to us today. To-day's manna is what we need; tomorrow God will see that our needs are supplied. This is the faith which God seeks to  inspire. So leave tomorrow, with its cares, its needs, its troubles, in God's hands. There is no storing tomorrow's grace or tomorrow's praying....."
Doesn't this hit home?   We get so caught up in the problems of tomorrow, we forget to pray for God's grace today.   Trusting God to get us through this day and allowing Him to get us into tomorrow so that we can trust Him for that as well.  

God does not want us worrying about what we need to do by Friday or next week.   What we have to be begin to realize is that next weeks need is not part of our "daily" bread.    Our walk with God is moment by mmoment and not just day by day.   Everything that we do, everything that we feel, everything that we need whether it be for today, tomorrow, or next week........God knows.      And that is what we have to trust.   We have to trust and believe that God knows. and we don't have to worrry about it.  

What we have to understand is that every day is specifically designed by God.   Today is the foundation taht God is building our tomorrow on.   The foundation that he is building on today is the testimony that you will tell tomorrow. 

So allow God's grace, mercy,and faithfulness to take you through today and trust in the fact that God knows what tomorrow holds and just as he took you through yesterday and is taking  you through today.   He will take you through tomorrow.   It's just not something you need to worry about.
