Today's Word
One day at a time
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
- Matthew 6:34
Why do humans like to worry so much? As if today’s situations weren’t enough, we spend hours thinking about what might happen tomorrow, next month, or five years from now. And the more we think about what could happen, the more nervous and anxious we become.
God, who knows us perfectly because He is our Father and Creator, exhorts us in His Word to focus on the present, to live one day at a time. The previous verses give us the secret: to cast our cares on God and trust Him firmly.
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Matthew 6:31-33
Is there something weighing on you or stressing you today? Give it to God. Place it in the hands of the loving Father who is with you and can do all things.
Live this day with a heart full of trust because your heavenly Father knows your needs and desires. He cares for you today and will continue caring for you every day of your life. Trust in His love, trust in His peace, trust in His provision. God does not lie. Seek His kingdom and His righteousness and fill your heart with the assurance that God is with you today, helping you, and will be with you for all eternity.
Yesterday's Word
Are you thirsty for the Lord?
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
- Psalm 42:1
Have you ever felt very thirsty with no water nearby? It’s a strong and debilitating feeling. Your mouth and throat become dry, and you are overcome with dizziness or disorientation. Drinking water several times a day is essential for our bodies to function properly.
Jesus Himself experienced thirst. One time, after walking for a while, Jesus encountered a woman as He rested by a well. He asked her for water, and she was shocked because He was a Jew and she was a Samaritan. Jesus said to her:
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
- John 4:10
The water God gives satisfies the thirst for abundant and true life that lies deep in our spirit. Even if we are unaware of it, like the Samaritan woman, we have a thirst that only God can quench and He stands with open arms, offering us His living water.
If we don’t seek God, if we don’t daily refresh our spirit with His presence, we begin to feel spiritual lethargy and disorientation. Stay alert! Seek the Lord every day. Don’t go without satisfying your spiritual thirst. Read the Word of the Lord daily, talk with your Father, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

He always does something; we just have to trust and wait. In due time, you will see His movement in your life, and your faith will be strengthened.
1I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.Psalm 40:1-2
Whatever pain you are suffering now or the wounds in your heart, bring it all before the Lord with faith and confidence. Persevere in prayer and trust in God's love for you. He will not only help you overcome it but also grow stronger in your journey with Him.
