Matthew 6:34 “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
The above verse is very interesting – and one that every believer would do well to take heed to.
The last phrase of the verse says: “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” A lot could be said just on this one phrase.
It means that we will face enough evil tomorrow to potentially get our eyes off the Lord Jesus Christ and on to the world. It is not where our eyes and heart should be. Watching the world can easily bring anxiety and doubt.
People that are on the Internet (or TV) a lot face temptations often. Certainly, they do not promote a desire to be godly and live for Christ.
How every believer needs to be careful to avoid focusing on tomorrow’s needs or plans so much that we miss doing God’s perfect will today. Remember that He alone is the Author of the “abundant life.”
He also is the only One that can give the peace that passes the understanding.
How can we keep our eyes on Him? Two ways will help:
- Read the Bible everyday – preferably in the morning to start with your mind on Him.
- Pray through the day and honor Him with a godly life.
Are your eyes on Him and His will for you today?
