​Keep your eyes on Today

 
I remember has a young Father I was focusing on the Future and what it would like for my kids. The focus was on making sure that they had what they needed and wanted from clothes, Cheerleading, Violin Lessons and Etc. I was focusing on making sure that I was putting back money for them for their college education. I was working two jobs sometimes to make sure I was providing what I thought they needed. Yes, I was worried about the next day and for that I was consistently allowing my eye focus on Tomorrow and not the day I was in. As I get older, I look back on all the things I missed because I was worried about Tomorrow and not the day, I was in. 
 
Don’t hear me say we don’t have to plan but we don’t have to worry about tomorrow to the point that we lose focus on what’s in front of us. I know try and live by the saying I heard a few years ago, “Focus on where your feet are at”. This can apply to so many things in life. Today I use this saying to help us focus on Today and not tomorrow. 
 
God calls us to worry about today and today alone. When we focus on tomorrow, we miss what’s in front of us today.   
 
Mathew says in chapter 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. When we worry about tomorrow what are missing that God has put in front of us today. Again “DO NOT WORRYY ABOUT TOMORROW.” This is not a suggestion, but command. 
 
See time is divided in days and night. This is done is it helps manage our day in portions. God’s grace is and should be enough for us, but only one day at a time.  When we worry about the future, we allow day upon day of troubles onto our flimsy frame. We will stagger under this heavy load, which we were never intended to carry. 
Let’s take this load and throw it off and Trust God has our future planned which will help us come directly into his presence. I know we do need to plan and I not saying not to plan. I am saying don’t allow the Burdon of tomorrow effect the day we are in. Remember we can only Control what we can control. And this is our actions in the day we are in.
