Tomorrow Holds?.?.?

We don’t know what tomorrow holds. We don’t even know what this afternoon or evening has in store for us!

I am at the age and stage of life where I ponder future aging and the trials that naturally come with it! These alone cause some nervous anxiety.

I watch the news and view disorder and mayhem on our city streets every night. I heard last night rent is going up 14%, and wages don’t support that kind of increase! Our sidewalks are lined with tents of the homeless, and drugs are rampant. This causes me grave concern.

Our climate is changing, and Mother Nature is out of control mad! Our Iceland animals are losing ground on which to live and survive! The ocean is disobeying its boundary lines, and fire doesn’t care! The devastation feels endless and daunting.

Do I succumb to feelings of fear and hopelessness? Do I allow myself to fret and stew over what my elderly years may hold in store for me? Do I feed myself daily with the world’s negatives?

NO!!!

I choose to believe in the word of God! If I don’t know the word, I look it up! We all have phones with a plethora of information at our fingertips! Depressed, look up scripture for depression! Worried, look up scripture about worry! Penniless, look up scripture on finances!

Depressed: Psalm 34:17-18 ESV “When the righteous cry out for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Worried: Philippians 4:6-7 ESV “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Penniless: Philippians 4:19 ESV “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Luke 6:38 ESV “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you!”

Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

This is the comfort I believe in; this is the comfort I have when the chill of tomorrow starts to blow.

I may not know what my tomorrow holds but I certainly know who holds it!

And with that thought, be comforted and blessed today. Thank you for sharing a few moments in Sunshine. ☀️❤️☺️
