Freedom in the name of Jesus!

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

I know that God does not want me to worry about tomorrow. He wants me to know that He gives me all the help I need for today, and when tomorrow comes, so will fresh help from Him.

This is God’s principle even in the Old Testament. When the children of Israel were in the desert, God gave them fresh manna from heaven every morning. (Exodus 16:13–16, 31) They did not have to worry about tomorrow because when tomorrow came, there was fresh manna again. He was their provision every day.

Today, God’s manna is the grace He gives me every day. Even though I might be worried about a situation tomorrow, I know that there will be sufficient grace for that situation when it comes. God wants me to simply rest in His ability to heal, deliver, protect and provide for me every day.

I know that God wants me to live a stress-free life, not one filled with worries about tomorrow’s problems. When tomorrow comes, His grace will be there for me as my help, protection, favor and enabling coz there is FREEDOM IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
