‘Do not be anxious about to-morrow’ - commentary
More often than not, the future is a source of worry for human beings. They are forever asking themselves whether they will have enough money, whether they will have enough to eat, a place to live, and so on. So taken are they with these preoccupations that they neglect far more important matters. They make mistakes which should be rectified, but they fail to address them. And as everything snowballs, they are eventually overwhelmed and crushed. In order to avoid this, you must meditate on the words of Jesus: ‘Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.’ If you see to it each day that your conduct is impeccable, the following day will be completely clear, and you will be free to carry out your plans, always vigilant that you leave no loose ends. In this way, each new day will find you free and well disposed. You will be ready to work, to study and to enjoy yourself, and all life will take on an extraordinary colour of contentment and blessedness. By seeing to it that all is in order today, you take care of tomorrow.
