“I Am your tomorrows.” This thought was part of my lesson in trying to live in the present. I have learned that living in the past can bring on depression and living in the future can bring on anxiety. The present is all that matters. Our tomorrows are taken care of. There may be things in our present that we do not like and that we want to change right now but this lesson changed my perspective on that.
I can accept and be content with my present and find joy for today, but still some days I am just done with all of it.
I keep thinking that it should have shifted by now…
Here’s the thing: On those days when I am just done, when the mountain is not being moved and the water is not being parted; I have to trust that all those things are happening for a reason. They are taking me to the place I need to be tomorrow.
What if the things happening today, are the things you need for your tomorrow.
God is coordinating my today for what I need tomorrow. He knows where I need to be, where I want to be. What He has coordinated for today is going to get me there. Today is trying to get me to my target, my goal and the future I want. So I let tomorrow take care of itself, shift into trust that:
Truth is You know what tomorrow brings,
Because there is not a day ahead that You have not seen…
He says: I Am your tomorrows
I choose to trust. Accept that what is happening today is happening because it is the best for my tomorrows. Thank you for the present. This is a needed constant reminder for me. No matter what it is that is happening today, I can shift into praise and be grateful for the present.
Let Tomorrow Take Care of Itself
Scripture says it so simply: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself” (Matthew 6:34). When I hear Him say “I Am your tomorrows,” it reminds me that I do not have to carry tomorrow today. That is His job. My job is to show up for today, do what is in front of me, and find the joy that is here right now.
4 Simple Ways to Trust That He Is Your Tomorrows
On the days when I am just done, these are the things that help me shift back into trust:
- Name what you are grateful for today. Gratitude pulls you right back into the present moment. Even the smallest things count, like a warm cup of tea or a hug from your kids.
- Shift into praise. Praise can raise your vibration and lift your heart, even when nothing around you has changed yet.
- Ask, “What is today teaching me?” If today is what I need for tomorrow, there is something in it for me.
- Give tomorrow back. Every time a worry about the future pops up, hand it back to God and come back to now.
Trusting the One Who Is Your Tomorrows
The mountain may not be moving yet, and the water may not be parted, but that does not mean nothing is happening. Today is getting you ready for tomorrow. If you are in a hard season, I hope this reminds you that you are not forgotten. He has already seen every day ahead of you, and He is coordinating today for what you will need. I Am your tomorrows, He says. And that is enough for today.
