“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV)

OCTOBER 12 - “I know you have promised us a house, God,” the young woman prayed tearfully, “but when is it coming? And where is it going to be? And how is it all going to come about? And…” People who live by their emotions often want to know what God is going to do with them in the future. However, they haven’t come to terms with this basic principle of character stated above. There is no bright future for us if we refuse to confront the weaknesses in our character; for as soon as we arrive at tomorrow, it is renamed today—complete with the same problems that limited us yesterday. That is why we must thoroughly fix where we are right now.

Therefore, it is essential to ask the needed questions and find out what must be fixed in our lives before we can be promoted to the next level. After making the necessary changes, we must then ask more of the right questions so we can move further along the road toward excellence.

We must examine our present beliefs and actions, discover what hinders our walk with God, and then take the necessary steps to deal with those weaknesses. As we make things right in the present, God promotes us.

Father, I thank You that I examine myself daily and deal with any weakness or flaw in my life. I look forward to my future as I take care of my present. I do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow worries about itself.
