There are two days in every week about which we should not worry and should be kept free from fear and apprehension. These two days can either make or break you depending on how you let them dominate your life.
One of these days is Yesterday, filled with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, and its aches and pains. It has passed forever beyond your control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. You can't undo a single act you performed or erase a single word you said. Yesterday is gone forever, but will haunt you if you let it.
The other day you should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, burdens, promise and possible poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond your immediate control. Tomorrow the sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, you have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you add the burdens of Yesterday and Tomorrow that you break down in fear and trepidation.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, but the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the fear of what Tomorrow may bring. That's why you should live one day at a time, resting in the arms of Jesus.
The Psalmist reminds us all of three important things in this simple verse of scripture. They are not complex, but skillfully detailed to help us all understand how to deal with Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow:
-Put your trust in the Lord.
-Never be ashamed of your relationship with Him.
-Know deliverance comes every day through His righteousness.
One more time let me remind you Yesterday is gone and Tomorrow will come, so live Today in the fullness of His grace and glory. In three days Jesus did enough to cover all the days of your life. Never forget that fact and worship Him for it.
