Psalm 95

95:1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers put me to the test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known my ways.”
Therefore I swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter my rest.” (ESV)

“Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seems to understand. I don’t know about the future, but I know who holds my hand,” so the song goes. Jesus told us that there are enough problems for today and not to be concerned about tomorrow. We worry whether the paycheck will take us through to the end of the month. God knows and he cares. “Cast your burden on him.” I once read that “worrying is praying to the wrong god.” Let’s give our concerns to Jesus and let him give us his wonderful peace to live each day as it comes and not worry about tomorrow.
