God Provides For The Present

"God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed." Max Lucado

 It is so common that we look ahead into our future and worry about our needs. We are worrying about how, tomorrow we are going to need this, and we don't know how we'll get it, or next month we will need some more of that and there is no way you will be able to do so, but just stop for a moment and let me ask you, what if I told you that God wasn't even looking at those things?
 Well, then, where is it that God is looking? We need Him here, at these things that we are looking ahead at, we need Him to take care of these! But look, actually we don't, and He isn't going to look at those things either; why? Well because God doesn't supply our needs for tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year, because He supplies our needs for the day that we are in, for the moment that we are living. He is going to supply your needs, just for today, and when tomorrow comes, that is when He will supply your needs for tomorrow.
 But you see, knowing this, we can't look ahead and worry, even about tomorrow, because every single day, God has a totally unexpected way of fulfilling all of our needs. Yes, next week, it may look like you won't have enough for this or that, but you have to know that, when you are in that day, God is going to provide for it then. But for now, we have to see like God, and He doesn't even see anything that we are worried about coming up in our future, but rather, He is looking at today, He is looking at right now, and the very moment that you are in, so start seeing your life from that perspective, and just know that, whatever may come in the future, when it comes, God will give you what you need, so just go out, live in, and enjoy the present.
