We only have TODAY;who knows what tomorrow will bring? War,
destruction, pestilence, famine and suffering seem certain for at lest
some of us. Amid this seemingly gloom outlook, there is hope. Jesus

Matthew, Chapter 6 (WEB)
24 “No
one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the
other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You
can’t serve both God and Mammon. 25 Therefore
I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what
you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life
more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 See
the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much
more value than they?
27 “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? 28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, 29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

God
will supply our genuine needs. Enjoy today as long as it is today and
follow Jesus' instructions in verses 33f. above. Tomorrow, anything
could happen, so do not worry about all the things that could go wrong. Today, serve God; be a faithful steward of the life that God has given you and trust that when tomorrow becomes another today you will echo Pooh's comments!!!
