What are you doing tomorrow? This is a question that many people are asked every day. What are you going to eat, where are you going to go, who are you going to meet. But these are questions that we don’t really know for certain, do we? We don’t know where we are going to go tomorrow for certain because we haven’t gone there yet. If you are driving to a destination, your car might break down and you will not arrive at your destination.
We don’t know these things because, unlike God, we are not omniscient (all knowing.) We cannot see our future like some kind of science fiction movie plot. We live in the present, not the future, and as such the apostle James taught that these things will happen “if the Lord will.”
James 4:13-15 “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow 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 on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, 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.”
If it is the Lord’s will, we will go to a certain place. If it is God’s will, the sun will shine or the rain will fall. If it is His will we will wake up the next morning, and begin another new day. Whatever happens will happen according to God’s design and purpose. And we cannot understand everything that God does, and why He does them, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1 Corinthians 1:25.
Take it one day at a time, because each day has enough for you to focus on without worrying about things in the future that haven’t even happened yet. Place your trust and faith in the Son of God that He will take care of your needs and keep you safe. Jesus used an example of the birds of the air, how they don’t plant crops, yet they don’t go hungry because God has provided them with food. The lily flowers, Jesus said, don’t toil over a piece of cloth trying to make themselves clothes, yet all of the clothes that King Solomon had couldn’t compare to their beauty. Instead of worrying about these things, what did Jesus say?
Matthew 6:34 “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.”
Each day has enough for you to work on in that 24 hours. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Focus on today. You can’t begin building the roof of a house until you first make the walls. You can’t finish a marathon until after you first start it. Focus on today, and leave the rest up to the Lord.
In Christ,
Andrew
(Andrew is no longer a part of this ministry, as he purposely lied, deceived me, and then betrayed me. These were not innocent mistakes but they were carefully planned out beforehand, and the clear markings of the works of the devil. Lying is one of the worst sins of all, because those involved with these types of work will inherit the lake of fire. I loved him dearly, but his love for the teachings of Christ abandoned Him. I baptized him by submersion over 25 years ago, gave him Holy Communion and biblical instruction regularly, but then he chose to do things that completely deny the things I ever taught him. The actions that he took were done willfully and with intent and go completely against many of the things that he speaks about in his writings. What he is now no longer represents the things that I believe, and I’m just letting you that he’s no longer a part of this ministry. Although many of these writings are helpful, they were written during a different time of his life because he completely abandoned this calling, and joined up with the world instead. Nothing can dictate Our lives more than a love for Christ Jesus and being chosen to His service, because every other matter will have to take second place. But he chose to forsake the plow, and renounce his duties, because the love for other things in this world became greater then the things of God.)
