Consider The Lilies
Matthew 6
:34a Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

To be able to live 'now' in this moment and not worry for tomorrow, is a miracle in itself. Think of the unbelievable peace that we would experience if we lived for today and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.

And what about the past. To put those things behind, is to live today and 'now' and in this moment, that is a miracle as well.

Exodus 14:13a And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today.

In that moment, Moses did stand still. Can you imagine the miracle in both standing still and watching such a great miracle unfold before your eyes, when the sea parted?
This is an example of standing still and living today or in this moment, the miracles open up before us in the same way as the sea. Each day, which is here, does have enough trouble of its own, tomorrow will come, but today is 'now'.

Does the miracle happen tomorrow? The miracle is happening now, isn't it?
