Reflections from Daily Reading, Jan 18th

I love the realism of Scripture. I’m currently reading through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6 and read today the wonderfully convicting section about worry. In the midst of theses great reminders that God knows what we need and is committed to meeting our needs is this sentence, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Not, “there will be no trouble tomorrow,” but instead, “don’t let tomorrows troubles worry you today.”  We aren’t promised a trouble free life, but a God who is bigger and more compassionate than we can imagine.
