Title: The Strength to Live One Day At A Time
Text:
Deuteronomy 33:25 (NKJV)
25 Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.
Observation:
I was looking at this chapter last week; and this verse caught my attention. This verse is a reminder to us of the importance of living one day at a time. This is what Jesus said about how we should live.
Matthew 6:25-34 (NLT)
25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?
27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing,
29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?'
32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
A recipe for a bad day is spending time regretting yesterday, and worrying about tomorrow. Our primary focus should be on today; learn to live one day at a time. Look to the Lord and His strength, and power for daily living.
Today
Not
Tomorrow
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I thank You for the daily provisions and strength that You give to Your people to live one day at a time. Lord, I thank You for the strength for today and the bright hope for tomorrow. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Acts 6:4 (KJV)
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
