“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

How do we keep going when we are hurting? How do we live?

A friend once gave me some advice about living with chronic pain: Just do the next thing.

In other words, don’t try to wrap your mind around a long season—or a lifetime—of discomfort and pain; just tackle the next hour, the next day, the next night.

As Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

If you are dealing with any kind of pain today, just do the next thing.

It may mean getting out of bed, getting up off the couch, getting out of the house, doing the laundry, or washing the dishes in the sink.

Revelation 21:4 reminds us that very soon there will be no more night, pain, or tears. So press on as best you can and lean helplessly into his arms. You can do no more—and you can do no less.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for reminding me that I only need to concern myself with living one day at a time, one hour at a time. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I know that whatever it may be, you will be there with me. And that’s all I need to know.

“Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary, 

they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah 40:28-31

It’s very difficult to move forward when you’re locked up in physical or emotional pain.

In such moments, it’s a comfort to remember that the love of Jesus toward you and me can never be exhausted.

He gives and gives and gives. Look at a typical day in His life.

In Matthew 14, after a hot, dusty afternoon of preaching to the crowds, Jesus learns the devastating news about the beheading of his friend and cousin, John the Baptist.

But rather than taking time to grieve, Jesus attends to the needs at hand, feeding five thousand people.

Then he later rescues his disciples when a storm blindsides their boat. On the other side of the lake, he takes on more crowds and nonstop ministry with no sleep.

And so it is today. Jesus’ love for you is endless. His concern never falters.

He never tires of your journey. Jesus, your inexhaustible Friend, can carry your load today.

Such a Friend! Praise you, Jesus, for your strong arm around my shoulders through the demands of my day and the occasional sleepless night.

Thank you that even though I come to the end of my rope, your rope has no end or limit! I find rest, sweet rest in you today.

“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”

1 Corinthians 10:12

Have you ever seen a fellow believer fall into deep sin and thought to yourself, I would never do that?

Maybe a prominent Christian has made the news for embezzling funds or abandoning his or her wedding vows.

When you hear the news, you shake your head and say, “How could someone do such a thing?”

Today’s Scripture has good counsel for all of us when we imagine ourselves to be above certain sins: “If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”

In other words, don’t be proud or smug when others sin, because you are not as strong, courageous, and godly as you think you are.

Consider Noah, who stood firm in a land filled with sin—only to become drunk and disgraced in his own tent.

Your greatest temptation doesn’t come when you feel weak and vulnerable, but rather when you feel strong, devoted, and above the fray.

Father, I know I have done this. I have seen brothers and sisters stumble, shaken my head, and thought to myself, How could they?

But you know the truth, God. You know that sometimes I have avoided sin, not because I’m more devout, but because I lacked opportunity!

Father, I admit my weakness today. I want to be strong in you—not in myself!

Even now my witness is in heaven;

my advocate is on high.

My intercessor is my friend

as my eyes pour out tears to God;

on behalf of a man he pleads with God

as one pleads for a friend.

Job 16:19-21

Job looks up through a fog of grief and pain and sees something in a flash of spiritual insight.

He cries out, “Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

My intercessor is my friend . . . on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.” I love those two words—“even now.”

Whatever your life situation at this very moment, even now, you have a Witness, an Advocate, an Intercessor, and a Friend in heaven, making the case for you before the Father.

That Friend is Jesus himself, the Son of God and Creator of all. Whatever your circumstance, doctor’s prognosis, level of pain, bank balance, or earthly trouble, you have a mighty Witness in heaven who is completely tuned in to your situation and prays for you.

Even now, Lord Jesus, I don’t have to wait in line for your attention, earn your notice, work for your favor, or cry out endlessly for your mercy. Even now, you are my Advocate, pleading with God the Father on my behalf.

As best I know how, I will rest in your love today and trust you to do what’s best for me.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

1 Corinthians 15:58

Some people imagine that menial, mundane tasks don’t rate very high in the Lord’s service—whether it’s cleaning up in the church kitchen, setting out Communion cups, or changing the oil on an elderly widow’s car.

But no task undertaken for the Lord is ever commonplace, undervalued, or wasted.

Today’s Scripture reads, “Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord . . . your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

In other words, what you do for God—desiring to please him and serve his people—counts.

It makes a difference, not only here and now, but on the other side, in eternity. Could it be that angels observe our determination, sacrifice, and the hours we invest in his work?

One thing is for certain: God himself sees and takes note. And what you do for him today may have far greater implications than you could ever begin to imagine.

Lord, how good it is to remember that nothing escapes your notice. Every task I have ever attempted for you, every time I worked through my pain, every time I set aside something I wanted in order to do what you wanted, has been recorded in heaven.

I may feel many things in my life, but I should never, ever feel overlooked.

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”

Ephesians 6:14-15

When you don’t walk, your shoes never wear out. My shoes can last me ten years or more and still look brand-new.

The soles that have never touched dirt, gravel, pavement, or even carpet stay pristine. But I did have some sandals that got mud-stained in a monsoon in my Country back in the 1980s—and I treasure those stains.

They remind me of the people who came to Christ that very night, in the storm, as we huddled together in a shelter.

It was good to get my feet dirty bringing Good News to people who need Jesus! The truth is, even though my shoes may not get a lot of mileage, my legs logs countless miles.

Traveling isn’t easy for me, but the Lord has sent me to visit more than fifty places with the gospel of peace.

Whatever inconvenience, difficulty, hardship, or physical and emotional wear-and-tear we experience to bring the story of Jesus to others is worth it a thousand times over.

Lord Jesus, I would love the privilege to speak for you today. I don’t know how it will happen, where I will be, or whom I might encounter, but when the opportune moment comes, let me open my mouth and say a word or two that turns the conversation toward you.

“That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.”

Esther 6:1

One night, Xerxes, emperor of the mighty Persian Empire, couldn’t sleep.

This may seem like a random, trivial fact—but it’s not. That one night of royal insomnia set off a whole chain of events that eventually saved Queen Esther and the whole Jewish population from destruction—while decimating their enemies.

It’s a reminder of how God delights to arrange “coincidences” to advance his purposes.

He uses the most innocuous, everyday events to engineer the most earth-shattering and significant moments in your life.

As Pastor John Piper wrote, “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.”

Is your heart open today? Watch for his sovereign hand at work in every life situation and praise him for how each incident weaves its way into his marvelous plan.

Dear Lord, how inexpressibly comforting this is! To think I can trust you with all the details of my life—right down to the frustrating delays, health setbacks, traffic jams, missed flights, and unexpected glitches.

Your watch-care over my life is wonderful. Why should I be anxious or discouraged? I praise You for being Lord over all of my life.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28

Paul’s words seem like a sweet, cool breeze on a sweltering afternoon: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

But what about those two wonderful, perplexing words all things? In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul lists some of the experiences he includes under that heading. Severe floggings.

Staring death in the face. Bloody lashings with a whip. Brutal beatings with rods. Terrifying shipwrecks.

Danger from bandits. Heartaches over betrayals and false believers. Exposure, exhaustion, hunger, and thirst. And the list goes on.

Most of us could say that our problems pale in light of Paul’s list. Yet he could still write, “I know that in all things God works for my good.”

What’s keeping you from believing in God’s goodness right now, in the midst of your difficulties, pressures, and disappointments?

Lord, I know that if you worked everything into a pattern for good in Paul’s life, you will do the same in mine.

I do love you, Lord, and even in today’s pain and weariness, I know you called me for a purpose.

Sometimes I can’t imagine what that purpose might be, but right now I’m content that you know, and that’s enough.

“Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’

Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.

Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?

And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.’”

Luke 15:1-7

Jesus describes a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep out in open country to seek a lost one.

On the surface, that doesn’t seem like wise livestock management. What rancher turns his back on an entire flock to scour the terrain for one foolish, wandering animal? Jesus does.

Yes, he loves the ninety-nine, but his heart yearns for the missing sheep, the one in eternal peril.

After searching high and low, the shepherd finally finds the stray and carries it home on his shoulders.

In his great joy, he even calls friends to come celebrate with him. This is how much Jesus loves and longs for that lost one you’ve been praying over for so long.

Yes, maybe he or she is a rebel in whom others see no worth. The Good Shepherd, however, will never stop searching and calling.

And that’s why we should never, ever stop praying for and loving those who are lost.

Jesus, forgive me for giving up on people who have rejected you and hardened their hearts against you.

Sometimes I write people off as a bad investment, but you never do.

Help me not to shrug my shoulders about those who choose to ignore you or oppose you and wander into darkness. Give me a heart like yours, Great Shepherd.

“But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.”

1 Corinthians 12:18

Sometime ago I travel To a village, speaking at a church, a woman named Elizabeth who is blind served as my interpreter.

You can imagine the two of us on stage—me with my difficulty in walking and Elizabeth with her white cane.

During a break, someone placed an English language magazine on my lap. It looked like a good read, but with my Current situation, I couldn’t hold the periodical or turn its pages.

“Elizabeth,” I said, “how ’bout if you hold the magazine and turn the pages, and I will read out loud.

That way we can both enjoy it.” And that’s just what we did. I needed her; she needed me; and together we accomplished something that blessed both of us.

That is how the body of Christ should work! Our combined weaknesses become delightful strengths.

First Corinthians 12 describes how we all need each other, just as a physical body needs feet, hands, ears, and eyes to move forward.

If we isolate from other Christians, we impoverish them—and ourselves.

Lord, keep my mind from filling up with details about myself, my wants, my needs, my deadlines, and my schedule.

Remind me of those I might help today with the abilities and gifts you have given me. If someone needs a positive word or a listening ear, move me to take notice . . . and take the time to respond.
