That’s the saying of College Game Day show host Lee Corso. Someone makes a statement about a player or football team, and he yells out, “Not So Fast,” insinuating that there is more information you must take into account before making that statement.
While listening to a radio station, I heard the verse from Matthew 6:34: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” And I thought, really? Don’t worry? People just might need to be worried about tomorrow. There are over 7,000 promises in the Bible, but what you first have to realize is that those promises are for the people who know and love Jesus Christ. Secondly, with a promise there is always a premise.
Matthew 6:34 begins with the word “therefore.” When you see a “therefore” it is saying “because of what I just said.” So what does Matthew 6:33 say? “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Here is what we ultimately need to understand: If you are seeking God’s kingdom first, you have nothing to worry about.
“Not So Fast.” Before claiming a promise, make sure that you are fulfilling the premise of the promise, otherwise, you will have false hope.
