When Tomorrow Comes

Last week I had a bad day. I felt overwhelmed by sorrow and concern. Those days happen. Even to Christians. We aren't exempt from trouble and we fall into the pattern of worry and sadness sometimes. That's where I was until I searched Scripture for an answer and I found many. I chose John 12:46 NIV where Jesus says, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."

Although I was really hurting, I began searching for the light. I prayed for those who were also feeling the grief of losing someone very special: his family and friends. I prayed for the relative facing stage 4 cancer and his family, though I could not find enough words to console them. I prayed for my son's family as they were finally through the difficult packing and moving days and able to enjoy being a family again!

I found another Scripture that spoke to me.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own," (Matthew 6:33-34 NIV).

Today I will be strong in the Lord and trust Him. Today's trouble will be past tomorrow.

Thank you, God, for being a loving and righteous God whom I trust to be my light in the darkness.
