Mystical, Mythical Tomorrow

Tomorrow: a land where diets and exercise will begin.

There is another side to tomorrow. While we hear a lot of the wonderful things people will do when it comes, there seems to be a bit of anxiety about it as well.  The same tomorrow that holds the promise of a new beginning also holds the threat of a new problem.

The Amplified Bible says it this way: "So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34

In other words, leave tomorrow, with all of its positives and negatives, alone. It is a box with problems in it. You have enough problems in the box called today to deal with. Fortunately you also have the tools and resources to fix them. Don't trouble trouble until it troubles you.
