No. 30 The Real Now

So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34

God loves reality. He created and continues to create reality. He hates lies because lies distort reality.

This is why He hates sin too. Sin corrupts His image and likeness in humankind. He made us to be like Him, and we keep distorting that!

Reality resides in the ‘now’ zone. Memories distort reality, and worrying about tomorrow does too.

Worries about tomorrow are no more real than fairy tales and Star Wars.

Ask any sniper how important it is to stay focused and not to think about the future, even what you will eat for dinner, or the past, even about who hurt your feelings yesterday. Snipers, like us Mark sharpshooters must focus on the Mark in front of us, now!

Jesus doesn’t want us to worry, but for His sake let’s only worry about the real matters of today, and don’t make up problems that may not happen.

Like God, we have power. We can make our worries come true by energizing them.
To focus our energy on today’s problems concentrates our power and opens our ears to hear His counsel.
His solutions come to a soul that focuses on the problems of the day.

To imagine all the horrors that can be the result of the problems of today is to play into the hands of the evil one, that wants you to do that. It is to distrust God, and it wastes the energy that can be used for problem solving, and keeps us from being the Salt of the Earth.

Wisdom.
