Take It One Day at a Time

I once heard the story of a tourist visiting a cathedral where an artisan was working on a huge mosaic. A vast empty wall was before the artist, and the tourist asked, “Aren’t you worried about all that space that you need to fill up and how you will ever finish it?”
The artist replied simply that he knew what he could do in a day. Each morning, he marked off the area he would complete, and he didn’t allow himself to worry about what lay outside that space. He just took one day at a time, and one day the mosaic would be finished.
Many of the great obstacles that stall our momentum are very much like that great, open wall. We can be overwhelmed by the bigger picture we have to create. Or we can simply start to fill it with wonderful, unique images – the imprint of our lives – by doing the very best we can with each day we are given.
Where do you start? I offer a simple answer: The best place to start is wherever you are today.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. – Matthew 6:34 |

I have always struggled with this verse. I always thought it meant to be foolish. If I don't worry about tomorrow, and the Conedison bill is due tomorrow and I dont pay it today then I wont have electricity.
It doesnt mean that at all. I take it to mean breathe............know that God is in control, and that whatever happens, if your lights do get cut off, God is there to catch you when you fall. Deal with your business, but don't be consumed with worry over things you cannot control....like tomorrow.
Thank you Arthur
