Trusting God With Your Tomorrow

Contributed by David Dunn on Mar 16, 2026

Trust replaces worry when believers release control of tomorrow, trust God’s character, and live faithfully today instead of carrying what belongs to Him.

There are moments in life when tomorrow feels larger than today. Not because anything has actually happened yet… but because the mind has already gone there. You can be sitting in a quiet room, nothing around you changing, no immediate crisis in front of you—and yet internally, everything feels ...read more

"Unloading Our Guilt" Series

Life Is Not Fair Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 29, 2003

Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more
