Take It One Day at a Time

Art Peterson - Thursday, February 24, 2011
Both Jesus and Paul tell us about the problem of anxiety. Jesus preached that we are not to "worry about tomorrow." (Matt. 6). Paul wrote, "Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. (Phil. 4:6). Robert Burdette wrote, "There are two days in the week upon which and about which I never worry...One of those days is Yesterday, with its cares and frets and pains and aches, all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond my recall. It was mine; it is God’s. The other day...is Tomorrow...with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its perils, its large promise and performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond mastery as its dead sister, Yesterday. Tomorrow is God’s day; it will be mine. There is left, then for myself but one day in the week—Today." So we take it ONE DAY AT A TIME! "It isn’t the experience of Today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of what happened Yesterday and fear of what Tomorrow might bring. These are God’s Days...Leave them to God."
