Today's reading is a blessed reminder that each day is a gift in which God stays close to us. It is up to us to keep our eyes focused on Him - and to NOT allow worry to overshadow the blessings of the day.
The scripture passages are powerful promises to us about God's Presence. Another one that has spoken to me about worry on many occasions is from the Sermon on the Mount:
Matthew 6:25-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do
not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
Do you have favorite scriptures on which you depend to help keep you focused on God's Presence - and not on the troubles of the coming days or weeks?
