When is Tomorrow?
Now faith
is… Hebrews
11:1
• Today. . .
• Yesterday. . .
• Tomorrow. . .
When my son Harry was three years
old he asked me, “When is tomorrow?” I said, “Tomorrow.” The next day he said,
“Is this tomorrow?” I said, “No. This is today.” After that went on for a few
days, I told him, “Tomorrow never comes!” That put a deadbolt on his brain for
a couple of days.
There
is no such day called tomorrow!
Yet,
many of us live in tomorrow. We’re more in tomorrow than we’re in the present
moment of—NOW. The devil keeps us buried in horrible “what if” thoughts facing
tomorrow.
God
is not going to waste His POWER solving make-believe problems.
The devil knows if
we’re worried about tomorrow, we’re not in faith today. And, when we step out
of faith—we step into his world of FEAR.
His purpose is to engulf us in so much fear that we lose sight of God.
We worry about
problems that we don’t have the grace to think about, let alone endure. The
supply of grace we need for “that” problem, won’t kick in until the day of that
problem. It’s like looking at the sun without wearing protective eye gear. We
anticipate problems without having God’s mercy and grace to comfort and help us
cope. If we would only learn how to take life one day at a time, it would take
a huge slice of control out of the kingdom of darkness.
Each day God gives
us a new supply of His grace and mercy. He told us we should pray for our daily
bread each day, (Matthew 6:11). When
the Israelites received Manna from heaven, they could only take enough for that day, not enough for next day, Exodus
16:15-21. They had to, and we have to trust God for each day’s supply.
Yes, we should make future plans. But, we shouldn’t worry
about them. Don’t miss out on God’s Wonderful Working Power today by living in a
day called—tomorrow.
