Worry Not About Tomorrow, For God is Already There.

(Mat 6:25-26 AMP)  Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?

In such times of uncertainty, it is easy to get distracted from our purpose with worry. We will never know what the future will hold for us, but we do know the promises of God. The promise of the plans He has for us (Jeremiah 29:11) and our lives. He has good plans for us, and He has had those plans even before He formed us in our mother's womb (Jeremiah 1:5)!

This should set our minds at ease. It is important to understand that life works in seasons (Ecclesiastes 3). Realizing what season we are in will help us see the importance of where we are. No matter what we may be going through, know that we are going through it and it is NOT our destination. The time that we spend in the trenches working tirelessly is for a reason. Even when it seems as though we are getting nowhere, we are in that season to grow. Growth is essential to the plans that God has for us.

God cannot use us where we are currently at, but we must be shaped and molded into the creation He needs us to be for His plans. His plans for our lives are greater than any plans that we could have for our own lives. So many people follow their own desires, making them successful in the eyes of the world but despised by the LORD, and at the end of the day they feel like an empty vessel. They have a God shaped hole in their heart that cannot be filled with anything else.

God has a plan for our lives whether or not we are on that path. The plans that he had for us when we were in the womb are still the same. His plans are good, concise, and of the utmost importance. It is crucial that we give control to Him, that we release all worry we may have about the future, and enjoy the season we are in right now. We need to take each opportunity to grow in Him and look forward to His plans as He reveals them to us one step at a time.
