“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:33-34 (NIV)
I feel the most unsettled when I’m uncertain about the future.
Many of you are also probably facing circumstances that have left you feeling caught off guard and unsure about what tomorrow holds. So many times I find myself bracing for impact when I check my daily news feed. If there’s one word that seems most certain to describe the times we are living in, it’s “uncertain.”
Maybe you’re in a job where you feel unsettled, and you think God is leading you somewhere else, but He hasn’t yet revealed what’s next. So, for now, you walk into an office every day giving it your all, but your heart feels disconnected and your real calling unfulfilled.
Or maybe you’ve been watching everyone else in your life find love, walk down the aisle and start the life you’ve dreamed of. Then a few months ago, you met someone who was everything you’ve been hoping for. You told your friends this might be the one. But this week you felt that person pulling back. It’s hard to understand. You feel panicked. Yet the more you press in, the more distance you feel between the two of you.
There are thousands of scenarios that evoke these feelings of uncertainty, fear and exhaustion from life not being like you thought it would be.
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
