Enough

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,

 for tomorrow will worry about itself. 

Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matt 6:34 (NIV)

As we look to the future, many fears may arise.  We may be afraid of getting sick, of getting cancer, that a loved one will die or leave us, that we may lose our job or become financially insecure.  We may be afraid that our children will get into trouble.  All of these fears grow in our minds and torment us.

When the Apostle Paul was tormented, facing great difficulty in his life, the Lord told him, “My grace is enough.”  God's grace is enough for whatever we face. Jesus taught us to take a day at a time and not to worry about the future.  Each day’s troubles are enough for that day.  Today’s grace is enough to cover today's troubles. 

The thing about grace is that it is only available for the immediate situation.  Just like manna, we can't store it up for tomorrow (Exodus 16:17-19). When tomorrow becomes today, his grace will be there.  Whatever situation arises, his grace will be enough - the greater the trial, the greater the grace.  Grace is always sufficient.

He said to me, "My grace is enough for you,

 for my power is made perfect in weakness."

2 Cor 12:9 (NET)
