"Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day 

is the evil thereof..."

A man ruins his self to run away from a plague which he thinks is going to arrive from a city in the north. He takes his wife and daughter and their sheep away from their farm to live in a cave faraway like beast of the field. After many months when they have run out of food and their sheep have been attacked by wild animals he takes his family home to find the crop he should have harvest has rotted and his farm has been used by travelers, there has been no plague, and he has lost the best harvest the village has ever seen. His fear made him do it and his belief that he was looking ahead to avoid trouble and keep his family alive.

By fleeing from tomorrows troubles he couldn't do the work that had to be done today.

He learns that a man must look to tomorrow to prepare, to save to be ready for tomorrow but to fear tomorrow to try to escape all the dangers that it might possibly bring, no man can live that way without failing to do what he should today. 

As the lord said, “Do right today, live right today, but don’t try to live with tomorrows troubles today.” 

Sufficient unto the day appears in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 6 — Matthew 6:34.
