Peace -stealers“Live One Day At A Time.” (Matthew 6:34)
There are two thieves that will always steal your peace -- yesterday and tomorrow. Jesus said, “don’t worry about tomorrow” (Matt 6:34). Why? Because he new you’d have enough to handle today. God wont give you grace for tomorrow until tomorrow comes. Do you ever have an attack of the “what if’s?” What if the medicine doesn’t work? What if my check doesn’t come tomorrow? What if ? What if? Look out, you’re about to be dragged off into worry.
The other area in which we get into trouble, is living in the regrets of yesterday. Everybody makes mistakes--even those we think are so great and never make mistakes. Listen, “Every man shall bear his own burden” (Gal. 6:5). We each have our own little load of oppressive faults and struggles. We all say and do things we wish we hadn’t said or done. “So what can I do?” you ask. Trust God to make it work out all-right. He’s able. He can help us clean up our mistakes. When you say something you shouldn’t, instead of worrying about whether or not you offended someone, ask the Lord to let them know your hear was right, even though you put your foot in your mouth. Trust God to work on them and to give you favor. That way you don’t have to spend the next several days worrying, or cringe when you meet them.
God is not the great I was, or the great I will be, he’s the Great I am! So live in today and enjoy His goodness.
