What Tomorrow Brings
James 4:14, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
Good Morning! It is today that was once a tomorrow, but for now it will be a today in this moment! So many times, we let ourselves find worry in thinking ahead. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing if we just wouldn’t find fault, find negativity, or create those two in our thoughts! As the above scripture relays; tomorrow hasn’t arrived, neither have we been promised that day, nor do we know if it will actually come. Being totally assured of the arrival of tomorrow is not something God gives any of us insight into knowing! Though the psychics, or the horoscopes have placed insignificant ideas toward predictions of such matters; we must not rely on them. Placing your trust in a human who has been created by God but doesn’t trust God’s purposes, will lead you down a path of wrongful trust. Why can’t we just be present in today and every moment that this one day holds? Must we create negative auras to push out our positive ones? I am pretty convinced that God gave each of us today to be glad in, to celebrate in, to delight in, and to find peace in! He placed each day in order as they come so that each would have meaningful significance for every one of us. Don’t dwell on what was, because it will never come again. Don’t focus on what will be tomorrow, because we have no clue as to whether we will see tomorrow. Fix your thoughts on what can be started today, completed today, loved today. Try to remember that old song, “I don’t know who holds tomorrow; but I know who holds my hand!” Trust in the knowledge that God is here now and if He allows you a tomorrow, He will be there too! Let us find the ability to stop focusing on tomorrow so that we can really focus on the here and now. This way you will be open to all the possibilities that tomorrow could bring!
