मत्ती 6:34

Finally, He gives us a limit for care, which by itself would very much exclude it. How much of the burden that we carry really belongs to the morrow — a burden not yet legitimately ours: for who can really tell what shall be on the morrow? Each day will have its own sufficient evil — not too much, for a careful hand has apportioned it: but by borrowing trouble not yet come, we not only necessarily make the burden of the day too heavy, but we cannot reckon upon divine grace for that which is not come, and bear it thus so far without help. No, we have lost Him from our thoughts in all this calculation of the unknown future which is in His hands. How often has love in the most undreamed of ways disappointed all our fears!

The disciples were not to be anxious as a habit as to food and clothing: a look at the birds, an observation of the lilies, however brief, might well rebuke it. They were not to be anxious at all, said the Lord — not for the morrow. (Ver. 34.) It is a stronger statement, excluding even a single instance.

The morrow is in God's hands, not in ours. And He gives us the place of sons, as well as of children, on a firmer ground than could be even when the Lord here addressed His disciples... Thus the work of Christ, and the present indwelling of the Holy Spirit which follows it, set the new relationship in the clearest light and on the most solid footing which even God in Christ could give it. O what dependence on Him becomes such as know themselves thus blessed! What confidence in His love to us today and forever! Why then allow the least worry about tomorrow?

But the child of God, why should he give way to anxiety about the morrow? He is entitled to happy boldness on his own part and assured love on His Father's to do His will today, whatever the trial. God is equally above tomorrow's anxiety, which he can cast on Him, if it come. Sufficient for the day is its evil. Christ is our burden-bearer. Through Him we more than conquer. If God be for us, who against us?

How often, beloved friends, have we troubled and worried ourselves about what was going to be on the morrow, and, when it came, we found how beautifully the Lord stepped in. We found that His care, and His love, had anticipated all our need, and more than met it. "Your Father knows that ye have need of these things." Oh, they are lovely words. To me, these three words, "Your Father knows," are exquisite... Further, we might never have to face tomorrow, because, before tomorrow comes, the Lord may have come, and we may have gone home to our Father's house on high.

If you cannot be contemplated in a warning to believers, you have a special danger in putting off to the morrow the call of the gospel which God makes to you today. "Behold, now is an acceptable season, behold, now is a day of salvation." Delay will only increase your sins, and harden your heart to resist the Spirit to your imminent danger... How many have put off to a morrow that never came!
