Someone has said that the average person is being crucified between two thieves–the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow. Consequently, he can’t enjoy today.
God is certainly not opposed to long-term plans and many times promotes them throughout Scripture. The thing is there are so many variables that planning is always subject to change.
We are only dealt out one day at a time and should seek to focus on getting the most out of each 24-hour period. The disciples were taught to ask the Heavenly Father to provide what was necessary for today.
Give us today our daily bread.
What do you need for today? Do you think you can make it through the day? God only gives the tools to get today’s job done. Tomorrow hasn’t even been started yet, so let tomorrow take care of itself.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Think about it.
