One Day At A Time

You want to live a month down the road, and you can’t even take care of the troubles of the present day that you are living in. What are you going to do when the winds blow vehemently? When the winds blow continually, sin and all manner of evil are stirred up. My children do not know what to do with the darkness of the day; what makes them think they can handle the darkness lurking in the shadows a month from now?

The darkness you are looking at is not the final darkness; behind this darkness lurks even greater evils of darkness, and there is even greater darkness lurking behind that evil.

Have I not said {one day at a time?} Then why are you trying to live two or three months down the road? Let’s look at what My Word tells you of this folly.

Matthew 6:  34 (MSG) “Give your attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

Matthew 6:  34 (KJV) 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.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Enough burdens, concerns, and troubles occur in the present without worrying about those that will or may occur in the future.

The phrase comes from the Sermon on the Mount in the Bible.

Don’t waste your time and energy worrying about what might go wrong. Just focus on every step of the project as it occurs. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
In trying to legislate for problems down the line, many of which may never even come to pass.

Psalm 118:  24 (KJV) This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Proverbs 27:  1 (KJV) Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Ecclesiastes 3:  1 (KJV) To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

I give you a warning this day. {One Day At A Time Is All You Will Be Able To Handle.} Walk ye in the day you are in and reap all its rewards. Each day holds new blessings for those obedient to My Still Small Voice.
