". . . Do not fear or be dismayed;
Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you."
2 Chronicles 20:17, NKJV
Remember the old adage "Tomorrow never comes?"
As stressful as this seems, people take these words to heart and live their lives based on the surmise that there's no such thing as tomorrow.
Even though there's a progression of time from one day to the next, the notion of no tomorrow concerns many. And when clinging to this mindset, what we do--or don't do--can make a world of difference in handling stress.
The idea of not being able to pick up where we leave off, or not having the option to pursue our plans can frazzle us beyond belief, and create endless hours of agitation.
Recorded in 2 Chronicles (Chapter 20) during a time of much uncertainty and stress, the Lord gave King Jehoshaphat and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem instructions on what to do--and He specifically stated "tomorrow."
Upon their obedience to God, "When Jehoshaphat and his people came . . . they found among them an abundance of valuables . . . more than they could carry away . . ."
As we align our affairs from day to day, do we address our tomorrows with doubts, fears, and needless stress? When we consider our desire to de-stress, is there something God has instructed us to do--tomorrow?
Let's de-stress our tomorrows by accepting, and obeying, God's Word.
Peace I leave with you . . .
