Today is the Day!

Today is the Day - Lincoln Brewster

I`m casting my cares aside
I`m leaving my past behind
I`m setting my heart and mind on You, Jesus!

I`m reaching my hand to Yours
Believing there`s so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, is good!

Today is the day You have made!
I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Today is the day You have made!
I will rejoice and be glad in it!
And I won`t worry about tomorrow
I`m trusting in what You say!
Today is the day!

I putting my fears aside
I`m leaving my doubts behind
I`m giving my hopes and dreams to You, Jesus!

I`m reaching my hands to Yours
Believing there`s so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, is good!

I will stand upon Your truth
And all my days I`ll live for You
And all my days I`ll live!

Today is the day You have made!
I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Today is the day You have made!
I will rejoice and be glad in it!
And I won`t worry about tomorrow!
I`m giving you my fears and sorrows!
Where you lead me I will follow!
I'm trusting in what you say!
Today is the day!


I was on a bear walk tonight, and this song came on in my worship mix on my iPod. I've been really stressed out lately because I got lots of tests and speeches coming up in the next week, and this song really helped me through it. It showed me that every day i live through, God made. He's put the tests in my path and is going to help me through it, as long as I do my part by studying for them. This goes for other things as well, not just tests - like job decisions, relationships, applying to college, etc.

And when I am particularly stressed out, I can give God my fears and sorrows because he's going to lead me to the right place. He has something literally 'awesome' for me and he'll do the worrying for me.

Matthew 6:34 says "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." It isn't our job to stress out about the next day. It's our job to take care of things as they are happening, one step at a time, knowing God is there with us, helping us out all along the way.
