Today, Tomorrow

TODAY, TOMORROW



As for yesterday, it is gone. While it was there, you did things for which you said sorry, made amends, and moved on to today. Yesterday also allowed you to receive God’s promises and anticipate today, and gave you opportunities (which hopefully) you seized. If you were lazy yesterday, then today is what you have. Today offers you brand new prospects of catching up and lining up your plans with God’s great plans for your life (Psl 20:4 AMP; Jeri 29:11).



You do not know exactly what is going to happen tomorrow (Luke 12:19-20, James 4:14); yet it holds the promise to take you closer to your hopes and dreams, imaginations and desires. That is what is so exciting about tomorrow; you hope for something you have not yet seen, and you patiently wait for it (Rom 8:24-25).



It is in your best interest not to treat waiting as an unproductive state of unconsciousness; it is the period in which you must prepare and equip yourself (Matt 25:4-10), and to be ready for your blessed future to unfold (Heb 6:11-12). As to patience, there would be no need for patience if you could single-handedly deliver on your hopes and dreams (Matt 19:26). However, where your future depends on God’s promises (scriptural, Rhema, prophetic), you might have to accept God’s higher view of the perfect timing, for your fulfilment (James 1: 4, 17; Psalm 18:30; Hab 2:3).



He is the source of yesterday’s promise and tomorrow’s fulfilment. You have a new nature and your spiritual mind must think the thoughts of God (1 Cor 2:11-13). Thus, you will view today and tomorrow the way He sees your present and future: full of promise and fulfilment (1 Kings 18:44). Today may appear heavier than a person can bear and tomorrow may be threatening to raise more problems than most people can handle (Psl 34:19). The crucial truth for you to remember and to get into your being is that the presence of Jesus is with you (Matt 28:20). Long after the pressures and problems have disappeared (Psl 30:5); and long after one triumph has been replaced by another, Jesus Christ will still be standing with you (Heb 13:8). Therefore, The Lord turns your today into a better day and fills your tomorrows with hope and success.



If you are reading this and you want Jesus Christ as your constant friend and Lord, then don’t put off till tomorrow, what you must do today. Just audibly say, "Jesus Christ, I believe in you. From today I want you to come into my heart and live within me." Then talk to a Christian you know.
