Go! And Trust the God of Your Today and Tomorrow

Introduction – Living Between Today’s Worries and Tomorrow’s Promises

Have you ever lain awake at night, staring at the ceiling, thinking about tomorrow? Maybe you’re wondering how the bills will be paid, or how that medical report will turn out, or if that broken relationship will ever be healed. Worry often tries to live rent-free in our hearts.

Yet Jesus, in Matthew 6:34 (NLT), says: “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

What a statement! He is not saying life will be free from trouble—He’s saying trust Me in the trouble. This message today is titled: “Go! And Trust the God of Your Today and Tomorrow.”

Let us read the key verses that will guide us:

Matthew 6:34 (NLT): “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT): “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”

Luke 1:37 (NLT): “For the word of God will never fail.”

1 Corinthians 15:22 (NLT): “Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.”

1. Trusting God with Tomorrow Begins by Surrendering Today (Matthew 6:34)

Jesus spoke these words during the Sermon on the Mount—a radical, upside-down Kingdom message. The Greek word for “worry” here is merimnáo, meaning “to be divided, to be pulled apart in different directions.” Worry tears our hearts between what is and what might be.

How often do we let what might happen rob us of what God is doing now? In 21st-century Britain, with our cost-of-living pressures, health crises, and cultural uncertainties, this word is as relevant as ever: trust God in the now.

Max Lucado once said: “Worrying is not a disease but a decision. Worry is the darkroom where negatives develop.”

This resonates deeply. Worry magnifies shadows, but faith magnifies God’s promises.

Imagine driving your car at night. Your headlights only reveal about 50–100 metres ahead, yet you trust they’ll lead you all the way home. God’s Word is like those headlights: enough light for today. Trust Him for each step.

2. God’s Grace Is Sufficient for Your Needs (2 Corinthians 9:8)

Paul writes to the Corinthian church, encouraging generosity, but his statement reveals something bigger: God’s sufficiency. The Greek word for “generously provide” is autarkeia, meaning “complete sufficiency, contentment in God’s provision.”

This is a promise for every believer: God will provide not always what we want, but what we truly need. Whether it’s strength for a trial, wisdom for a decision, or peace in the storm, His grace is always enough.

Charles Stanley said: “God takes full responsibility for the life wholly devoted to Him.”

Is your life wholly devoted to Him? If yes, then you can trust His provision, even when the cupboard looks empty.

There was once a missionary in Africa who prayed for food for his orphanage. On the very day they ran out, a truck broke down outside their door, carrying food supplies that were redirected to them. Coincidence? No—God’s providence on time.

3. With God, Nothing Is Impossible (Luke 1:37)

Gabriel speaks these words to Mary, a teenage girl chosen to carry the Saviour of the world. The Greek phrase is ouk adunateo para tou Theou, meaning “no word from God is powerless.”

You may feel like your situation is too far gone: the marriage too broken, the addiction too strong, the past too stained. But when God speaks a promise, it carries the power to accomplish what it declares.

R.T. Kendall wrote: “Faith is doing everything God tells you to do and then trusting Him to do what only He can do.”

Faith moves our feet; God moves the mountain.

4. The Greatest Tomorrow – Life in Christ (1 Corinthians 15:22)

Paul contrasts Adam—the source of sin and death—with Christ—the source of life. The Greek word zoopoieo for “given new life” means “to make alive, to quicken spiritually.”

Your greatest need is not money, health, or success—your greatest need is life in Christ. Without Him, tomorrow holds judgment. With Him, tomorrow holds eternal life.

John Piper said: “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

When Christ becomes your satisfaction, the fear of tomorrow loses its grip.

Gospel Presentation:

We all have a problem called sin. Romans 3:23 (NLT) says: “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Sin separates us from God and leads to death (Romans 6:23). But God, in His love, sent His Son Jesus—who lived a sinless life, died on the cross as our substitute, was buried, and rose again on the third day—to give us eternal life.
