       A problem many of us face is that we think about tomorrow, or days after tomorrow, when we should be focused on today. Jesus taught us, ““"Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34, ESV). God only wants us to be focusing on what we need to do today. And we cannot enjoy today if we are thinking about things that are off in the future, even if it is things about tomorrow. The reality is, is that there is much to be enjoyed in our current day. There is much we can get out of the current moment. However, if we are not in the current moment, and thinking about tomorrow, we miss our enjoyment that God want us to have today. And it’s an endless cycle. If today we are thinking about tomorrow, then when tomorrow comes, we will be thinking about the next day. So, when will we ever then think about our current day? We never will with that type of setup in our minds. It is written in Song of Solomon, “Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom” (2:15, ESV).
