Just Enough for Today
Every morning we wake up with dreams or plans or expectations. We want to do great things and be a 'somebody'. But little do we know that what we ask for, are we able to handle it?? Humans are overcome with greed wanting more and more...and still feel DISSASTISFIED!!!...Well, we always ask for things that we think that we can handle..But Hey, GOD is saying "That's enuff for today. Dun worry bout other stuffs, just focus on the things I give u for now". The fundamental prayer in Matthew 6:9-13,*focus on verse 11 yea*, tells us to ask GOD " Give us today our daily bread"...Well GOD knows us better than we know ourselves. He created us. So He knows what we need for today, tomolo, day after tomolo.......
But sometimes we are so sucked into our own world and fascinates of doing great things until we forget to focus on the small things that GOD assigned us to do. This is called GREED and PRIDE!! Not suprising neway!!! Humans including myself takes pride in the things we do. Dun get me wrong! I'm not trying to imply that we should not dream big. Well its good to have a dream, but if these dream we have overshadow GOD'S, than its time to reschedule our dreams!!
In Proverbs 30:8-9, Agur asked GOD not to give him poverty or riches because he understands he is just only human. He understands that if riches comes in he knows that he will get proud of himself. If he becomes poor, he will ended up as a robber which will dishonor GOD. All he ask is just this "But give me only my daily bread" sufficient for him for the day. This is where humility comes in...
To let go off the frustrations of doin many stuffs for the day, why not we let GOD settle our timetable for us...start your prayer every morning with "GIVE US TODAY MY DAILY BREAD!!!"
