One Day at a Time

Living one day at a time is more than just a popular saying — it’s a powerful way to live a Christian life. It helps us let go of past regrets and not get overwhelmed by the future. In a fast-paced world that’s always asking us to plan, rush, and worry, this idea is a breath of fresh air.

We live in a world filled with fear, anxiety, and stress — much of it tied to what’s coming next. But Jesus tells us not to carry tomorrow’s weight. Each day comes with its own challenges, and God gives us the strength and grace we need for that day.  “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  Matthew 6:34 (NIV)

As believers, we often focus on eternity and what’s ahead — and that’s important! But the Bible reminds us that today matters too. God wants to meet us in the present.

God Provides One Day at a Time

When God provided food (manna) for the Israelites in the desert, He gave them just enough for one day. Why? To teach them to trust Him daily. That same principle is true for us. God’s grace is new every morning. We don’t need to borrow tomorrow’s strength — we’ll get it when we need it.

Even in creation, God worked one day at a time. At the end of each day, He saw what He had done and called it good.

Make Today Count

Jude 1:20 says: “But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith…”  How do we do that? By focusing on today — and using it well. Each day is a gift from God. If you do what He’s asking of you today, you’re walking in His will.

Ask yourself each morning: “What does faithful living look like today?”  It might be helping someone, resting, working hard, or simply praying. Whatever it is, do that — and let that be enough. Living one day at a time is not a weakness — it’s trust. It says, “God, You’re already in tomorrow. I’ll walk with You today.”

Let’s not miss what God is doing now. He is here. He is faithful, and He is enough — for today!

Blessings!
