“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God.” Philippians 4:6.

We are currently dealing with so many things beyond our control in the world today. To the natural man it appears as though things are simply out of control. But, to the Christian we know that things are right on schedule. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1.

It is just human to wonder what’s next. In the book of Acts 1:7 the disciples questioned Jesus after the resurrection about the end of the Church age; they were excited about His resurrection and wanted to know when they would go with Him. The scripture state “And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”

Jesus gently reminded them that not only was it not necessary for them to know the plans of the Father, but that they still had some work to do before the next age. My friends, time and seasons are in God’s hands, we must trust that He knows best.

As human beings we naturally desire to have a sense of control. Currently, we are all searching for the answer to when things will change; some desire complete normalcy or things to go back to the way they were. The Bible admonishes us to place our trust in God “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God.” Philippians 4:6. Every new day is just that…a new day. It has its own blessings and challenges.

The song writer wrote these words: Yesterday’s gone, sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine . . .  only in following the guidance of the Holy Spirit can we find peace and rest lovingly in God’s care. No, we do not know what’s next…but we do know the One who holds every tomorrow in His hands!

My friends let us pray for God’s peace and patience to walk this Christian journey according to His will. The Lord will always give us a measure of peace in our hearts when we make everything concerning our lives a matter of prayer. We still have a work to do every day that he allows us to open our eyes to a brand-new day. So as the old gospel hymn goes . . . let us pray to take one day at a time!

One day at a time, sweet Jesus

That’s all I’m asking from You

Just give me the strength to do everyday

What I have to do

Yesterday’s gone, sweet Jesus

And tomorrow may never be mine

Lord, help me today, show me the way, One day at a time.

God blessings of love, joy and peace be with you all.
