GOD OWNS ALL MY TOMORROWS

November 2

hild of God, are you worried about tomorrow? Does it trouble you so much that you can’t sleep at night sometimes? Does this worry seem to paralyze you at times? Let me ask you a simple question, “How can you worry about tomorrow when it does not yet exist?” That’s right, I create each day brand new. I also create each day with the intention of making that day a gift for each of my children who live in it. When you fear and worry about tomorrow, you are in that very moment breaking my commandment. Remember the word, “Take no thought for tomorrow, what to eat, drink, how to be clothed . . . your Heavenly Father knows what you have need of before you ask?” (Matthew 6:8) Well, get with the program! Your foolish worries prevent you from enjoying the promises and opportunities presented to you by my Holy Spirit for that day. Here’s a good way to begin your day, pray, “Father, I know that the evil one has not sought to give me the gift of today! I will not allow fear over anything that this day threatens to rule me.” “Somehow I will entrust myself to you in this day.” When any evil threatens me, I will step aside and call upon you to come against it and to banish it from my presence.” “In the name of Jesus, I will receive this day as a blessing from you as you intended it to become! “Yes, yes I will in the name of the Lord.” “Devil, in the name of Jesus, take your hands off me this day, the Lord rebuke you!” “This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” (Psalm 118:24) Now, don’t you feel better? Then, go back and pray it again aloud! You not only feel better, you are better for ordering your day in the name of the Lord! Child, as you receive each day as a gift from your Father, you admit that there is one person and one person only who has been sent to grow, mature, and guide you. That person is your Father in Heaven! This is good news! Bless you in this your God-given day!

Prayer

Father, how many days I have surrendered to fear and threats from the enemy. No more! Each new breaking day is one more opportunity for me to serve and love you! I know that whatever I face in this day, there will not be one minute of the day when I cannot find you there awaiting my call to you. What a blessing this is! Thank you in Jesus’ name, amen!
