One day there will be no tomorrow
There are decisions that we need to make today and now, but we keep shifting them for tomorrow. In Matt. 6:34, the Lord Jesus Christ admonished us saying, “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.” We have no guarantee of the next moment and yet we are consumed by the issues of tomorrow. Soon and suddenly the translation will happen and there will be no more tomorrow for those caught away. Tomorrow will be for those awaiting and going through the great tribulation. Today is the day of salvation and the decision is in your hand. For the truly saved persons in Christ, we are not supposed to be consumed with tomorrow. Our tomorrow is already in Christ, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory,” (Colossians 3:2-4). Let your tomorrow be in and anchored in Christ Jesus; for one day there will be no tomorrow. Put your tomorrow in Christ Jesus. For very soon “there should be time no longer,” (Rev. 10:6).
James 4:13-17, “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be of the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” We all need to be careful the way we handle “tomorrow” because it could make or break us. Let us follow the word of the Lord, let tomorrow take thought of it. This is the same as, taking one day at a time. But as we are at the end of time we should take it one moment at a time; and the safest way is to, “commit that way unto the Lord; trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 and Proverbs 16:3, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts (even for tomorrow) shall be established.”
We need to commit all about us to the Lord because, “he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow,” (Heb. 13:6-8). Our tomorrow which we worry and think about is future with us; but to God it is past tense; because he knoweth all things. Remember Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path.” But “boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth, “(Proverbs 27:1). Remind yourself O! Believer, “For we walk by faith, not by sight,” (2ND Corinthians 5:7).
As you plan and are occupied by things of tomorrow, Jesus said, in Luke 12:20-25, “But God said, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on —-, and which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?” Suddenly for some, there will be no tomorrow. But while it is still called today commit your tomorrow troubles to the Lord your God. Repent of your sins of worrying about tomorrow if you are a believer. If you are not saved and do not know about Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, today and in fact right now is your chance. All you need is to confess your sins on your knees in a quiet corner; and ask Jesus Christ to forgive and wash your sins away with his blood, and ask him to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. Seek water baptism and Holy Ghost baptism in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. Get a King James Version Bible and look for a small, simple but praying, praising and witnessing church. Commit your tomorrow to Jesus Christ and rest.
