Scared Of The UnknownSample

By Jared Smith

When you think about tomorrow, what comes to mind? If you are anything like me, the “to-do” list of tomorrow triggers a chain reaction of tasks to be completed. I think of the things that I would like to get done, and those others that need to get done.

As my day is set into motion, I feel the weight of the current task pressing into the next, as if skipping a step will make the chain of dominoes not fall perfectly into place. Worry can easily come in. Yet somehow the dominoes always fall, just maybe not exactly as I intended them to.

Looking back though, do you even remember what you were worried about six months ago? Life happens, we get through circumstances, and the worries around them dissipate. We don't often think about the things we worried about in the past, only the worries of the future. 

God’s faithfulness in our pasts should give us hope through our worries of the future. 

Do we trust him with our tomorrows, really? My days seem to flow the best when I offer to God all the things that I would like to see happen and then acknowledge my need for him to handle them. He is good. I see his goodness as I look back at my yesterdays, and I want to trust him to show more of his goodness in my tomorrows. 

Questions for Reflection: 

· What are the tasks that concern you for tomorrow? 

· Take a minute to write down some of the ways God has come through for you in the past. How could remembering God’s faithfulness in your past help guide your approach for tomorrow?
