DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. MATTHEW 6:34MATTHEW 6:34
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.   *NIV

Now I ask you, WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE? MATTHEW 6:27MATTHEW 6:27
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   In fact, some studies even show that worry may actually shorten our life!

Therefore instead of worrying CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. 1 PETER 5:71 PETER 5:7
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.   For then, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID; WHEN YOU LIE DOWN YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. PROVERBS 3:24PROVERBS 3:24
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.  

After all what is worry anyway, but the opposite of faith! So, have faith and always turn your worries over to God! Then you will be able to say with confidence…..

“Why Worry About Tomorrow?”

Why worry about tomorrow
And the rising of the sun,
Of anguish over past mistakes
That cannot be undone?

Why waste life’s precious moments
On things that bruise the heart
When today is ours to fashion
Into a work of art?

Today comes but once, my friend,
It never can return–
So use it wisely while you can,
There’s a lesson you may learn.

Let history record the past
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best
With what you have today!

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD, AND WHOSE HOPE IS THE LORD. JEREMIAH 17:7JEREMIAH 17:7
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.   *NKJV

We all have hopes and dreams for our future, for life would be very difficult without them. However when we put our hope in the Lord, trusting that He will always help us, we are placing our hope in the correct place! For unlike putting our hope in other human beings who are likely to let us down, GOD never fails or reneges on His Promises.

After all it is written: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OUR HOPE. ( 1 TIMOTHY 1:11 TIMOTHY 1:1
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy ^{1 1} Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;   ) and everyone whose hope is in the Lord is truly blessed! Now that is because EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF, JUST AS HE IS PURE. ( 1 JOHN 3:31 JOHN 3:3
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.   ) So, BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART, ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD. PSALM 31:24PSALM 31:24
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.  

In Closing, it is my prayer that THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING, THAT YOU MAY ABOUND IN HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, and that all of your hopes and dreams come true! Amen. ROMANS 15:13ROMANS 15:13
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVER-COME THE WORLD. JOHN 16:33JOHN 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.   *NKJV

Now in this World today, there are times when we may feel overwhelmed by what is going on all around us. After all with terrible disasters, wars and terrorist’s threats, etc happening, it is enough to make one wonder what is happening to this World today.

14 ¹ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.   ) For when we put all of our trust in Jesus’ hands, we will find peace for HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE. ( EPHESIANS 2:14EPHESIANS 2:14
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;   )

FINALLY, BRETHREN, WHATEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, WHAT EVER THINGS ARE NOBLE, WHATEVER THINGS ARE JUST, WHATEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATEVER THINGS ARE OF GOOD REPORT, IF THERE IS ANY VIRTUE AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING PRAISEWORTHY-MEDITATE ON THESE THINGS instead of the troubles of this World. PHILIPPIANS 4:8PHILIPPIANS 4:8
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. honest: or, venerable   After all it is then that THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. (PHILIPPIANS 4:7PHILIPPIANS 4:7
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  ) and you will know true peace as you have never known it before. Amen, Amen Indeed!

LIFT UP YOUR EYES ON HIGH AND SEE WHO HAS CREATED THESE THINGS, WHO BRINGS OUT THEIR HOST BY NUMBER; HE CALLS THEM BY NAME, BY THE GREATNESS OF HIS MIGHT AND THE STRENGTH OF HIS POWER; NOT ONE IS MISSING.ISAIAH 40:26ISAIAH 40:26
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.   *NJKV

When the events of this World cause you to be concerned, remember that our Heavenly Father is in Control! For THE LORD REIGNS; LET THE EARTH REJOICE. PSALM 97:1PSALM 97:1
97 ¹ The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. multitude...: Heb. many, or, great isles  

Indeed, let the Earth rejoice for time is unfolding just as it was written! So do not be stressed about today or the future, for you are God’s Child and He will always be with you! For THE ETERNAL GOD IS YOUR REFUGE, AND UNDERNEATH ARE HIS EVERLASTING ARMS. DEUTERONOMY 33:27DEUTERONOMY 33:27
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.  

After all WHO IS GOD, EXCEPT THE LORD? AND WHO IS A ROCK, EXCEPT OUR GOD? PSALM 18:31PSALM 18:31
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?  

So, the next time you become worried about the future of this World, remember these words! THE LORD REIGNS; LET THE EARTH REJOICE and He has made everything glorious. Yes, let us rejoice indeed!

Have a Wonderful day and may it be filled with peace. Amen.
