Matthew 6:34

So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today. Planning for tomorrow is time well spent, worrying about tomorrow is time wasted. Sometimes its difficult to tell the difference. Careful planning is thinking ahead about goals, steps, and schedules, and trusting in God's guidance. When done well, planning can help alleviate worry. Worriers, by contrast, are consumed by fear and find it difficult to trust God. They let their plans interfere with their relationship with God. Don't let worries about tomorrow affect our relationship with God today.

Proverbs 15:14

A wise person is hungry for truth, while the fool feeds on trash. What we feed our mind is just as important as what we feed our body. The kinds of books we read, the people we talk with, the music we listen to, and the movies we watch are all a part of our mental diet. Be discerning because what you feed your mind influences your total health and well being. Thus a strong desire to discover knowledge is a mark of wisdom.
