I know He who holds my tomorrows

Our minds are not designed to worry. Worrying is not from God. Our mind is designed to be at peace, to enjoy the awesome knowledge of His love, might and power.

I know how it was to be a worrier. I used to worry a lot - I was just so eager to think about the future, to calculate the possibilities of things in my life and the actions to be taken even before anything actually take place. When a small thing happened, I would be so good to magnify it until it looked so much bigger than it actually was.

Thanks be to God who in His grace and mercy revealed His very self to me and since becoming a Christian, God was dealing and is still dealing with me, patiently teaching me to be at rest and to be at peace in every situation that He allows to happen in my life.

Through suffering, I learned humility and obedience. I realised that by worrying I did not change anything but made things worse and caused people I loved to suffer as well. It does no one any good.

My peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

It is very easy to quote this verse to someone who is going through a hard time. When it comes to putting it into practice, I believe many of us find that it is not as easy as we thought it would be.

The truth is, God's word is simple. He means what He says. Unless we decide to let go and let God, we will not be able to experience the peace that He has promised us. When the devil whispered fear and lies, we are to  recognise them and to declare the word of truth against the lies of the enemy. The word of God, the weapon of God has the power to demolish stronghold - even the worrying mind.

God's grace and His manna is sufficient for us for each day that He gives us. It is not meant to be kept for tomorrow. Let's not spend the whole time worrying about tomorrow lest we miss out His grace and provision that He intends for our enjoyment Today!

He who promise is faithful. How many know that we can trust in the God of peace in the time of storm? Indeed, we can!
