Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow

While I was watching a live streaming event on the internet, I heard a well respected minister say "I would not worry about anything BUT today. Why? Today is the only effect I have on my future". This stuck a chord within me. How much of the time I find my mind moving to the future -entertaining fears and concerns about tomorrow. When this happens, it robs me of the NOW factor. It can immobilize you.

Matt. 6 : 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Today is the only control you have over tomorrow ! Such a great concept. We can reap a harvest of our own planting. Lets get busy planting Good Things.

ACTION

I know a special truth. I have proved it for myself. I act on this principle and have had great results in life and business. When I am down and out, I can take this "way of escape" and leave that state.
The principle I speak of is Action.


The Bible shares this wisdom when it says;
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves..... But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. (James Chapter One)

Act ! Be a doer! Do something that you have been putting off ! Write that letter. Pick up that phone and make that call. (Remember that the phone does not weigh 100 lbs.) Forgive that person. Give that donation. Just do it !
Any movement towards order creates pleasure. Action will always overcome feelings.

Proverbs

Proverbs 1:28
When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. They rejected my advice
and paid no attention when I corrected them.
Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.
For simpletons turn away from me to death.
Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.
But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.
