Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I think it was easier to say that back in those days. You had a Roman soldier with a sword in front of you and you had to deal with it. Travel from Rome to Israel by land took months. Travel from Israel to America took over 1400 years.

Today we can fly from America to Israel in about thirteen hours. A nuclear warhead can make it in about three hours. Hey, but not to worry, we can track those things by satellite, so we can fret for the whole three hours before it explodes. So worrying about tomorrow seems ridiculous since the world can end today.

Does worry fix things? I have my own theory about how we got into this mess we all live in now. We worried about tomorrow and forgot to take care of now. We wasted the now back when it would have done us some good. Too late, can’t go back and claim a do over. It doesn’t work that way.

So now we have more to worry about, more problems with fewer solutions. We have tried everything to fix tomorrow except take care of today. If we really want to fix tomorrow, then let’s prepare those who will be living in it after we are gone. We will never fix tomorrow but if we raise up Godly men and women who can take care of that now moment, then when tomorrow comes, they will deal with it in the now.

Do not tell me it is too late. That is the defeatist attitude of the devil who distracted you from your responsibility towards today in the first place. I do not know what I will have to face tomorrow, I can only see what is in front of me this day.

I’ll see you tomorrow if tomorrow comes, but for now, I’ve got things to take care of today.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Ever been lost? You knew where you started, had a destination in mind and somehow took a wrong turn and suddenly you realized you were lost. That lost feeling isn’t what Jesus is talking about here in Luke 10:19. When we witness to the lost about Jesus we often confuse those to whom we are witnessing.

“I’m not lost.” I know where I am.” I know where I am going.” These have been responses from those that are lost because they had no concept of what the “lost” in Luke 10:19 meant and we didn’t explain it to them properly.

Matthew 13:45-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

We all are lost to sin by the sin of Adam. We have a sin nature, we were born with it. We were lost to God by one man’s disobedience. God paid the price to win us back.

1 Corinthians 6:20a For ye are bought with a price:

1 Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Only when the good shepherd finds you will you know you are lost. He is seeking, do you hear His voice?
