day no. 14,704: and not a moment before

Deuteronomy 7:21-22
You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. 22 The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little. You may not make an end of them at once, lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you.

God systematically removes obstacles before us, but not any sooner than we need them removed. No problem is so bad that it cannot be made worse. Whatever obstacles that lie before us, it would be worse for them to be removed before we need them gone. Some problems we see coming over the horizon are best left where they are until it is time for them to be uprooted and thrown into the ocean. Tomorrow's anxieties will be there waiting for us and trying to squeeze them into today's schedule does not make them any smaller. They will be there until God deals with them and many times He will deal with them tomorrow, right on time, right when you needed them addressed, but not before.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
