Today’s Manna!
Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:34
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
In this verse, Jesus instructs His followers to focus on the present rather than being anxious about the future. This message is part of His Sermon on the Mount, where He emphasizes the importance of trusting God for daily provision and care.
A biblical example that illustrates this principle is the story of the Israelites in the wilderness. When God provided manna from heaven, He instructed them to gather only what they needed for that day (Exodus 16:4-5). Those who tried to hoard the manna for the next day found that it spoiled. This taught them to rely on God’s provision daily and trust Him for their needs each day.
In our lives, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with concerns about the future—whether it’s finances, health, or relationships. However, Jesus reminds us that worrying about tomorrow is unproductive. God is already in control of our future, and He knows what we need. By focusing on today and trusting God for tomorrow, we can live with greater peace and contentment.
To apply this verse, start by surrendering your worries to God in prayer. Focus on what you can do today and leave the future in His hands. Practice gratitude for His provision and faithfulness in the present. When you feel anxious about the future, remind yourself of God’s past faithfulness and trust that He will continue to care for you.
Prayer: Lord, help me to trust You with my future. Remind me that You are in control and that I don’t need to carry the burdens of tomorrow. Give me the grace to focus on today and rely on Your provision for each new day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
