Not too long ago, Pastor David Mc Chesney was a guest pastor at my church. I remember he said: "learn to receive manna for TODAY." Although the context was totally different from what I'm going to talk about, this sentence came back to me in various situations thereafter.
Recently, it got me thinking...how much do we worry about what's going to happen tomorrow, when really today hasn't even been lived? We go on and on about what will be, and yet the Lord says: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" (Matthew 6:26-27)
Today is the day we are in, it is the present, and as cliché as this is, it really is the gift we have been given.
