Tomorrow is vital to most people. To me... I bank on tomorrow, I bet everything that tomorrow will come. I live to live tomorrow. I live to make things right tomorrow. I make plans for tomorrow and even days, months, years on down the road. I think, I plan, I count on tomorrow coming.
...What if tomorrow never came?
...What if today was the last day of my life?
My heart is so rooted in this world that I can't see true reality. True reality is God reality, Kingdom reality, heaven reality, the next life reality.
...Why do I bank on tomorrow?
...Why do I pass time away day after day; waiting for the next day?
...Why do I not live for now?
...Why do I not make things right, now?
...Why do I not take every opportunity for the Lord, now?
...Why don't I deal with my indwelt sin now?
It's because I put my life and soul on the fact that I can do it tomorrow. I can make it right tomorrow, do it tomorrow, forgive tomorrow, say I'm sorry tomorrow, tell them I love them tomorrow, get my focus right tomorrow.
The condition of my soul, my relationship with the Most High God, eternal important things I keep pushing back until tomorrow, always tomorrow...when I am never promised to have another tomorrow. God never promises tomorrow; I could die tonight, right now, He could return, anything and everything could happen before tomorrow comes.
...Why put my life and my very soul in the hands of what may not even exist?
Now, now is all I have, now is the only time I have to confess sin, love those deep in my heart, share the Gospel of Christ, forgive and mend broken relationships, now, right now I need to get my focus right, stop waiting. Eventually I will spend my whole life living for tomorrow; then the last tomorrow will come and pass and it will all be too late. I'll be left wishing for more chances, another opportunity to go back and do it over again; but once again the tomorrows have passed by while I was waiting for the next.
...Why waste my life?
Whatever it is; do it now!
