Two Days I Can't Change

Christians get caught up in the world's desire to repair yesterday and control tomorrow. Both of those days belong to God. A false sense of guilt and worry are both a lack of hope. A false sense of guilt comes when we feel that God can't repair the damage we have done or that we have done so many wrong things that God can't use us anymore. Nothing you have done will stop the God of grace in anyway from doing what is best for His children. That is His delight. We have to understand that God doesn't use us because we are so stupendous and indispensable to His plans but because we are so weak that He can rightfully glorify Himself through us.
Worry comes when we feel as if we are somehow in control of tomorrow and not God. We lose hope because we fear imagined events instead of trusting the God in control of every event. Sometimes, I think, we imagine that God is surprised by what happens--caught off guard.
Both of these "conditions"--false guilt and worry--are products of pride--the greatest lust of the flesh. And they destroy our ability to take full advantage of this day that He has given to us. "Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you at the proper time."
