Before God flung the stars into space, He had today in mind. He had this very week in mind. In fact, He had you in mind. And He knew exactly what He was going to do. God is never at a loss to know what He is going to do in our situations. He knows perfectly well what is best for us.
"Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" Isaiah 65:24
God will never lead us astray; He knows exactly where He is taking us. Our job is to obey, to live in close fellowship with God as we walk our earthly path. In the process of this simple arrangement, God engages us in His eternal plan.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 5 & 6
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about
your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than
food and the body more than clothing? Look at the
birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather
into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not of more value than they? Which of you by
worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil
or spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today
is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not
much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?"
or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?"
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your
heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore
do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own
trouble." Matthew 6: 25-34
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known to God; and the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 6 & 7
" . . . in everything give thanks . . ." I Thessalonians 5:16
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11: 1
" . . . Be content with such things as you have.
For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor
forsake you." So we may boldly say: 'The Lord is
my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13: 5 & 6
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For
we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
we can carry nothing out. And having food and
clothing, with these we shall be content." I Timothy 6: 6-8
