What does it mean to trust God when tomorrow remains uncertain?

Jesus said:

“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Jesus did not promise that faithful people would never experience suffering, uncertainty, loss, or hardship. Instead, He taught us to seek God’s Kingdom, receive today as it comes, and trust the Father with what we cannot yet see.

This bonus episode—8 of 7 in the Walk the Way series—follows the biblical story from Babel to Abraham, Sinai, David, Jesus, and Pentecost.

At Babel, humanity united in rebellion and the nations were scattered. God then narrowed His focus to Abraham so that blessing could eventually reach every family of the earth.

At Sinai, God formed Israel as a kingdom of priests and gave His Word to shape a rescued people. But Sinai did not reverse Babel. Israel was supposed to carry God’s wisdom to the nations, yet the kingdom of David could not complete that calling.

The prophets therefore promised a new covenant. God would place His instruction within His people, give them a new heart, and put His Spirit inside them so they could walk in His ways.

King Jesus accomplished what the earthly kingdom could not.

He humbled Himself, entered our suffering, demonstrated sacrificial love, surrendered His life, overcame the grave, and poured out the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, people from many nations heard the works of God proclaimed in their own languages. What had been scattered at Babel began to be gathered through Jesus.

The Spirit was not given merely to produce powerful experiences. He was given to transform human hearts and teach God’s people how to live.

His presence produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Trusting God therefore does not mean pretending that tomorrow will contain no trouble. It means knowing God’s character, believing in His resurrection power, receiving His Spirit, and choosing to walk in His ways today.

The question is not merely:

Do we believe in God?

The deeper question is:

Do we trust Him enough to obey Him?

Modern Mind, Ancient Book, Walk Away.

SPEAKER_01

Welcome to another Modern Mind Ancient Book, but we're going back to move forward. We're finding a love for the law, the prophets, and the writings. We have changed the format a bit. We're trying to produce a Disney quality entertainment platform. And you know, we want to include song and this sort of thing. And hopefully you're finding it entertaining. If you would like any changes or maybe a modification, uh, you know, please let us know. We would love to hear from you. Uh, my name's Roger. I'll be your host. We've just finished a seven-part series, and this will be part eight. It's part eight because that's what God does. He made a new day and he made a new thing when he made a new Sabbath. On the first day of the week, Jesus rose. And so I wanted to present this to you personally, myself. I wanted to talk to you, and I wanted to let you know that I'm thankful. I'm thankful for you who listen. I'm thankful for you who share and subscribe that you like it. I'm thankful for you. This particular episode is gonna be called Trust God with Tomorrow. We're gonna talk about Pentecost, the new covenant, the spirit within. So the question is what does it mean to trust God? Jesus said, therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble on its own. Jesus did not say tomorrow would contain no trouble. He said tomorrow would have enough trouble of its own. Trusting God does not mean pretending that danger, suffering, uncertainty, or loss are not real. It does not mean believing that nothing painful will happen. Trusting God means refusing to carry tomorrow's trouble before tomorrow arrives. Worry reaches into the future and pulls its possibilities into the present. It tries to predict every outcome, prevent every loss, and control circumstances that have not yet happened. Jesus gives us another direction, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well. The answer to worry is not inactivity, it's seeking. Seek first his kingdom, seek his righteousness, ask what is right before God. Ask what honors the king. Ask how Jesus taught us to live in the circumstances already placed before us. Worry asks, what will happen to me tomorrow? Trust asks, how can I obey God today? We cannot control tomorrow. We can't choose whom we will follow today. So what should we do? When Jesus tells us not to worry, he does not leave us without instruction. He tells us what to do. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. We pray, we prepare, we work, we forgive, we repent, we serve, we speak truth, we keep the commandments of Jesus. Trusting God does not mean calling in activity faith. It means doing what God has placed before us while leaving the outcome under his authority. Our responsibility is faithful obedience, the outcome. It belongs to God. But why should we trust him? How can the heart rest when tomorrow remains uncertain? To answer that, we must follow the story of what God has done. From Babel to Avraham, from Sinai to Israel, from David to Jesus, and from the witten written word to the Spirit within. At Babel, humanity gathered together in rebellion. The people said, Come, let us build ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we can make a name for ourselves. They sought unity, security, and greatness apart from God. They wanted to establish their own name. They wanted to build their own way upward. They gathered around human power rather than trusting the Creator. God confused their language and scattered them across the earth. The nations were divided. Their languages separated them. Humanity's attempt to unite without God ended in scattering. Babel revealed the human problem on a worldwide scale. People didn't just lack information, they desired to establish life on their own terms. They wanted power, unity, identity, and security apart from the authority of God. After Babel, God narrowed his focus to one man, Noah first, but then he called Abraham, and he said, I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, and all peoples on the earth will be blessed through you. The focus became narrow, but the purpose, well, it remained universal. God chose one man so that blessing could eventually reach out to all the families of the earth. Abraham was not chosen because God had stopped loving the nations. Abraham was chosen because God intended to bring the nations back to himself through the family that would come from him. God would form a people, he would teach them his ways, they would represent him among the nations. Through them, the scattered peoples of Babel were supposed to learn again who God is and how humanity was created to live. God delivered Abraham's descendants from slavery in Egypt and brought them to Sinai. He told Israel, You yourselves have seen what I did in Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle's wings, and I brought you to myself. God did not merely bring them out of bondage, he brought them to himself. He continued, Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. You will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. God gave his word to Israel so they could know him, walk in his ways, and represent him before the nations. They were to become a kingdom of priests. A priest stands between God and others. A priest teaches, a priest represents, a priest helps others draw near. Israel was not chosen merely to possess God privately. Israel was chosen to reveal him publicly. God's commandments taught them how to worship, rest, how to administrate justice, how to protect life, how to care for the vulnerable, how to honor marriage, and how to love God and your neighbor. His word showed them what was good, righteous, holy, and loving. God's instruction was not given to destroy them, it was given to form them. Sinai did not fix Babel. Sinai was necessary, but Sinai did not undo what happened at Babel. The nations remained scattered, their languages remained divided, the human heart remained restrained. Israel had received God's word, but the nation had not yet gathered back to him. Israel had been given a narrow and special focus, but that calling carried a worldwide purpose. Yet they were supposed to help undo Babel by leading and teaching the nations. They were to show the world the wisdom, justice, mercy, holiness, and goodness of God. The nations were supposed to look at Israel and see what life under the rule of the Creator would become. But Israel struggled with the same problems among the nations. The word could be written before the people, while rebellion remained within them. The instruction was good, the human heart remained hard. Israel often followed the ways of the nations instead of teaching the nations the ways of God. The people who had been called to lead others back to God repeatedly wandered away from him themselves. God eventually established the kingdom of David. David's kingdom represented a further development of Israel's calling. Israel now had a king, a land, a capital, a priesthood, and revealed instruction of God. Jerusalem became the center of the kingdom. The nations could see the rule of Israel's God displayed through the kingdom of his chosen king. God promised David that one of his descendants would rule upon his throne. The hope grew that the Davidic kingdom would become the means through which God's righteous rule reached the world. But the kingdom of David could not complete the mission. David sinned. Solomon turned toward other gods. The kingdom divided, the kings became corrupt, the people were exiled. Israel possessed the word of God, but Israel's kings could not transform the human heart. The divided king would not gather the scattered nations back to God. What happened at Babel remained unresolved. The calling remained, the promise remained, but the mission was unfinished. God, therefore, promised that he would act again. Through Jeremiah, he said, The days are coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. Did you hear that? Two separate people. Dr. Hampa addresses this in his book, God's Divorce, The Hidden Love Story. You should read it. Then God explained what would be new. I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. God did not promise to abandon his ways, he promised to place his instructions within his people. The movement would be from stone to heart, from commandments written before them to instructions written within them. Ezekiel described the same promise. The spirit would not be given to lead people away from God's ways. The spirit would be given so that they could finally walk faithfully within them. The problem was never that God's instruction was evil or that he was corporate or that he was not a God of grace. The problem was the resistance of the human heart. God promised a new heart. He promised to form a people who would know him, love him, and walk in his ways from the inside out. King Jesus accomplished what the kingdom of David could not. Jesus came as the promised son of David. He came as Israel's faithful king. When Israel had been unfaithful, Jesus remained faithful. Where Israel's kings had used power for themselves, Jesus used his authority to serve. Where humanity had sought to make its own name at Babel, at Babel, Jesus humbled himself and made his father's name known. Where David's kingdom had failed to gather the nations, King Jesus came to bring them to himself. Jesus did not come to create another human kingdom built around force, pride, wealth, or self-exaltation. He came announcing the kingdom of God. He healed the sick, he cleansed the unclean, he welcomed the rejected, he forgave sinners, he confronted hypocrisy, he taught the ways of God, he called Israel back to faithfulness. He revealed what life under God and under his authority truly looks like. Then he gave his life. What the kingdom of David could not accomplish, King Jesus accomplished. He became the faithful King, through whom the nations would finally be gathered back to God. After his resurrection, Jesus commanded his disciples to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father. They could not produce the Spirit, they could not create the moment, but they could not force the nations to listen. Their responsibility was to trust Jesus and obey his instructions. And Pentecost came, the feast of Shavuot in the Old Testament, which is not old, it's God's instruction. Pentecost occurred during the Feast of Weeks. Shavuot. Jews and proselytes had gathered in Jerusalem from many regions, all over the world. The followers of Jesus were together when the Spirit of God came upon them at the temple. Acts tells us all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them. The people gathered in Jerusalem, heard the disciples speaking in the languages of their birth. Parthians, Medes, Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Egypt, Libya, Rome, Crete, Arabia, Jews, and the proselytes heard the mighty work of God declared. At Babel, languages divided humanity in rebellion. At Pentecost, the Spirit used the language of the nations to unite people around the mighty works of God. God did not erase the languages, he spoke through them. At Babel, humanity gathered to make a name for itself. At Pentecost, the nations were gathered to hear the name of Jesus. At Babel, people built upward and human pride. At Pentecost, the Spirit came down through divine grace. At Babel, the nations were scattered. At Pentecost, King Jesus began gathering the nations to himself. This was the decisive reversal of Babel. What Sinai had not accomplished, Jesus now accomplished through the Spirit. Sinai formed a people who were supposed to teach the nations. Pentecost empowered a people to carry the message of King Jesus to the nations. The kingdom of David could not repair Baba. King Jesus did. The Spirit enabled people from the scattered nations to hear one message. Jesus had been crucified. He had been exalted. He was both Lord and Messiah. The miracle served the message. The Spirit did not merely produce amazement. It was not there for that. The Spirit came to testify about Jesus and gather the nations under the true King. Shavlot or Pentecost. And the word was given within. Pentecost was able to fulfill the new covenant promise. At Sinai, God's word had been spoken and written before the people. At Pentecost, Shavlot, which is the celebration of the commemoration of the law being given at Sinai, God placed his spirit within his people. The word was not being discarded. God was writing his instructions upon the heart. This was the second giving of God's word, not as a replacement of his ways, but as the internal work Jeremiah had promised. God's instruction would now be taught from within by his Spirit. The Spirit would convict, the Spirit would remind, the Spirit would strengthen, the Spirit would produce obedience, the Spirit would empower God's people to speak about the greatness of Jesus and what he'd done. Paul described this work by saying, You show that you are a letter from Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts. God had not abandoned his word, he had brought it inward. This gives us another reason not to worry about tomorrow. We are not left alone to find the way. Jesus told his disciples, the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I've said to you. The Spirit teaches, the Spirit reminds, the Spirit leads. But the Spirit does not contradict the Word of God. He does not teach rebellion and call freedom. He does not lead us away from the commandments of Jesus. He forms within us the desire and the ability to walk in God's ways. This does not mean every inner feeling comes from the Spirit. Our emotions can deceive us, our fears can mislead us, our desires can pull us away from God. The Spirit's leading agrees with the character of God, the teaching of Jesus, and the testimony of Scripture. He leads us into truth, love, righteousness, humility, mercy, faithfulness, and self-control. Because he is present, the heart can rest. We may not know everything tomorrow will contain, but we are not entering tomorrow alone. The Spirit who teaches us today will remain with us tomorrow. God shows us his heart through Jesus. Why should we trust the God who leads us? Because God has shown us what he is like through Jesus. God did not remain distant from the suffering of his creation. He entered it. Jesus accepted hunger, exhaustion, temptation, rejection, betrayal, injustice, pain, and death. Paul wrote, who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage. Rather, he emptied himself by taking the very nature of a serpent. Jesus did not use his position of authority for selfish its selfish advantage. He humbled himself, he served, he touched the unclean, he welcomed those whom others rejected. He fed the hungry. He healed the sick, he forgave sinners. He washed the feet of his disciples. He spoke truth even when truth carried a cost. He remained obedient even when obedient led to suffering. Jesus showed us how humanity was created to live under the authority of God. He showed us what true greatness serves. True strength does not need to dominate. True authority does not exploit. True love sacrifices itself for another. He showed us how to pass through a corrupt world without becoming shaped by its corruption. This is why the fruit of the Spirit matters. Paul wrote, The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and the one we all struggle with self-control. These are not merely pleasant personality traits. They are evidence that God is teaching a person from within. They are keeping the law because against these things there is no law. They are the character of his kingdom, appearing within people who still live in a troubled world. We encounter hatred, but the spirit teaches love. We encounter despair, but the spirit produces joy. We encounter uncertainty, but the spirit forms peace. We encounter delay, but the spirit teaches patience. We encounter cruelty, but the spirit produces kindness. We encounter corruption, but he brings us goodness. We encounter betrayal, but the spirit teaches faithfulness. We encounter aggression, but the spirit produces gentleness. We encounter temptation, but the Spirit develops self-control. The fruit of the Spirit is how we will make it through this world without becoming like the darkness around us. The Spirit does not always remove us from trouble. He teaches us how to walk faithfully through it, faithfully through it. Worry says, I must control the world around me before I can have peace. The Spirit teaches God can produce peace within you while you walk through circumstances you cannot control. Trust is not the complete absence of fear. Trust is continuing to walk in God's ways when fear tells us to abandon them. Jesus did more than show us how to live, he gave his life for us. The cross revealed the depth of God's love. Jesus did not merely speak about sacrifice, he sacrificed himself. He did not merely commit us to love our enemies, he asked forgiveness for those who crucified him. He did not merely tell us to serve, he took the position of a servant. He did not preserve himself at the expense of everyone else. He gave himself so others could live. This is true love. God's love is not an abstract feeling. It enters history, it took on flesh, it served, it suffered, it carried sin and shame, it entered death. When we question whether God is good toward us, we look at Jesus. He reaches and reveals the heart of God. We may not understand everything God permits, we may not know why every difficulty comes, but the one leading us is not cruel, selfish, corrupt, or indifferent. He has shown his love through Jesus. The cross reveals sacrificial love, the resurrection reveals true power. Jesus said, I lay down my life only to take it up again. No one takes it from me. But I lay it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. Jesus willingly laid down his life, then he took it up again. Human rulers demonstrate power by preserving themselves and defeating those who oppose them. Jesus demonstrated power by giving it himself for his enemies and defeating death itself. He entered the grave, but the grave could not hold him. This gives us the deepest reason not to be ruled by tomorrow. Behind every human worry stands the fear of loss. Behind every fear of loss stands the fear of death. Jesus has overcome death. He will also give life to us. The resurrection is not only something that happened to Jesus, it is the promise of what God will do for those who belong to him. Paul wrote, If the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his spirit who dwells in you. The spirit within us is not only our teacher for this life, his presence is also the promise of resurrection life. The same God who raised Jesus will raise those who belong to him. Jesus took up his own life. That does not mean we will avoid every loss in this age. It means no loss has final authority over those who belong to Jesus. Pain is real, but it's not final. Grief is real, but it's not final. The grave is real, but it's not final. Death does not receive the final word. God does. We do not know everything tomorrow will bring, but because Jesus has risen, we know where the story ultimately leads. It leads to life. There's nothing but good in Him toward us. God's goodness does not mean every event will feel good. Jesus suffered, the apostles suffered. Faithful people still experience sickness, rejection, persecution, injustice, grief, and death. The command not to worry is not a promise that obedience will prevent suffering. It is the assurance that suffering cannot separate us from the presence, love, and final victory of God. There is no corruption in him, there's no selfishness in him, there's no darkness in him. He does not lie, he does not betray, he does not abandon his promises. He corrects because he loves, he teaches because he desires our good. He calls us away from sin because sin destroys. He commands us to walk in his ways, because his ways lead to life. The heart can therefore say, I do not know what tomorrow will bring, but I know who is with me. I know what he has shown me through Jesus. I know how his spirit teaches me to walk, I know that he is good, and I know that death will not have the final word. But now we must choose. God's love has been revealed. Jesus has shown us the way. The Spirit's been given, the resurrection has demonstrated God's power. The nations have been called to gather under King Jesus. Now we must choose. Will we continue to be led by fear by the world? Or will we be led by the Spirit? Will we call Jesus Lord while refusing his instruction? Or will we trust that his commandments are good? Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments. Love for Jesus is not merely admiration, it must become obedience. We do not obey Jesus to purchase his love. We do not obey because his love has already been revealed. We do not keep his commandments to earn the Spirit, we receive the Spirit, so that He may teach us to walk faithfully. Grace does not produce contempt for obedience. Grace brings us back to God so that we may become the people he intended us to be. The choice is not simply whether we believe Jesus existed. The choice is whether we will entrust our lives to him. Will we believe that his way is better than our way? Will we trust his goodness when tomorrow's uncertain? Will we obey him when fear tells us to protect ourselves? Will we allow his spirit to produce his fruit within us? Will we speak of his greatness and what he's done? Will we join his work of calling the nations back to their rightful King? God established the seven days of creation. He blessed it and he made it holy. The Sabbath reminds us that God is the creator and that we're not. It teaches us to stop. It teaches us that the world continues under God's authority even when we cease our labor. The Sabbath is an act of trust. For six days we work. On the seventh we rest because God commanded rest. We acknowledge that provision ultimately comes from Him. We acknowledge that our value is not merely only what we can produce. We acknowledge that time belongs to God. The seventh day testifies that creation has an order, humanity has limits, and God alone rules over all things. To honor the Sabbath is to protect is to practice the command not to worry. We stop striving. We release control. We remember our Creator. We rest under his authority. The first day of the week bears witness to the resurrection. On the first day, the tomb was found empty. On the first day, Jesus appeared alive. The first day announces the beginning of new creation. The one who rested in the grave rose in victory. The first day proclaims that death has been defeated and that the world has come to enter the present through Jesus. We do not need to erase the seventh day in order to honor the first. We do not need to diminish the resurrection in order to remember the Sabbath. The seventh day points to creation covenant and God's commanded rest. The first day points to resurrection, new creation, and the victory of Jesus. Both testify to the works of God. Honor the first day of the week because God sanctified it. Honor the first day because Jesus rose from the dead. Honor all the word. Do not use one part of Scripture to dismiss the other. Do not place the Spirit against the Word. Do not place Jesus against the Father. Do not place grace against obedience. The Father sent the Son, the Son revealed the Father, the Spirit brights God's ways within us and leads us to walk as Jesus walked. God's work is united. Trust God with tomorrow. What is it to trust God? It's not believing that tomorrow will contain no trouble. It is knowing that tomorrow's troubles do not have to control today. It is remembering that Babel revealed humanity's attempt to build life without God. It's remembering that God called Abraham, so blessing could return to the nations. It's understanding that Israel was chosen to become a kingdom of priests and nations to teach the nations, or I'm sorry, kingdom of priests to teach the nations of God's ways. It's recognizing that Sinai did not fix Babel and that the kingdom of David could not complete the mission. It's seeing that King Jesus accomplished what Israel's kings could not. It is seeing Pentecost as the reversal of Babel, the Spirit, using the languages of the scattered nations to gather people around the mighty works of God and the lordship of Jesus. It's receiving the new covenant spirit who writes God's instructions in the heart. It is seeking God's kingdom first. It is pursuing his righteousness. It is believing that God's commandments are good. It is allowing the fruit of the Spirit to shape how we pass through this world. It is looking at Jesus and seeing true sacrificial love. It is looking at the empty tube and seeing true power. It is believing that the one who took up his own life and also gave his life will give you your life. It is honoring God as Creator on the seventh day. It is celebrating the risen King on the first day. It's honoring all of God's word. You do not need to know everything tomorrow will bring. You need to know who is leading you today. Seek the kingdom, walk in his righteousness, keep the commandments of Jesus, follow the Spirit, speak of the mighty works of God, call the nations to their true King. Trust God with the outcome. The God who called Abraham formed Israel, promised a new covenant, sent King Jesus, poured out his spirit, reversed Babel, and overcame the grave, is already present to teach you how to walk the long walk. Walk the way. Modern Mind, Ancient Book. If you'd like to reach out to us, please feel free. Modern Mind, Ancient Book.org. That's the website. We want to thank you for taking the time to listen. I pray that God is with you and that you have been blessed. Bye-bye for now.
