In this fast pace world, we live for tomorrow.  We will say a lot of times, “Tomorrow we will….”.  What if tomorrow doesn’t come?  The list of all the things we plan to doing tomorrow will seem a mile long if we stop and think, “What if tomorrow never comes?”  What if I don’t get to spend quality time with my kids?  What if I don’t get to talk to my parents tomorrow?  What if I don’t get to study God’s word tomorrow?  Are you ready for today?

God doesn’t promise us tomorrow.  He knows how many years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds we will walk on this earth.  So, what if tomorrow never comes?  Could you face God eye to eye and say, “I lived every day as if it were my last.”  Could you say that you lived your life according to his plan and his will?  Could you say that you lived every day acheiving every possible moment to cherish?  Most of us can only answer that we lived for tomorrow that was never promised to us.  We lived every day wishing for tomorrow, hoping for tomorrow, wanting tomorrow to be better.  In reality, we did not see what wonderful days today could have been.  We miss all the moments that today can be filled with, joy and happiness, wishing for tomorrow.  We miss all the moments that we could just call and say “hi” to someone and brighten their day.  We miss too much of God’s wonderful plan for us looking ahead in time, instead of in this moment of time.

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” – Proverbs 27:1.   Living for tomorrow is not just all about us putting off the good things in life till tomorrow, but also the problems.  Each day we are faced a different set of challenges and problems.  We still stick with this fast pace world and put our problems off until tomorrow.  Each new day we are blessed with, we still have the problems from yesterday to deal with and the added problems of  today to deal with also.  Eventually,  our day becomes over run with all of the previous days problems, and then we don’t have enough time to do anything else, but to catch up on all our challenges and problems that we have put off until tomorrow.

The solution is: Live life like tomorrow will never come because we don’t know if today will be our last.  Live life to the fullest each and everyday God has given you.  Praise God every morning and thank Him for you being able to have another day.  Ask God to be your leader and to lead you where he wants you to go.  Spend time with family and friends even if it is just a phone call to say, “I love you and God bless you.”  The most important step is: Stop putting off till tomorrow, and do what you are called to do today.

Can you see me?  I’ve been by your side since the day you were conceived.  I was with you when you took your first breath and when you took your first step.  Have you seen my hand pointing you in the direction our heavenly Father has chosen for you?  My hand has pointed you down many paths, did you see me? Can you see my footprints? They have been by your side each and every day with every step you have taken, I have been here with you.  Can you see me?

Can you hear me?  I have whispered many things in your ear, did you hear my voice?  You may say you are  just talking to your self, but it is I who you are talking too and it is I who is answering you.  Some say it is just your conscience speaking in your head that you hear, but in truth, it is I who is telling you where to go and what you should do.   My words that I speak directly to you can only be heard by you.  Can you hear my words?

Can you feel my touch?  I have touched your shoulder just to remind you I am here ready to lead you in the direction you need to go.  With every heart beat in your chest and every breath you take, I am hear.  Did you feel my shoulder that you have cried on many nights?  When I wrap my arms around you so tight and held you close, did you feel my touch? It is the touch that tells you everything will be alright and everything will be brighter, just take my hand and I will lead you down your path.  Can you feel my touch?

Can you feel my heartbeat?  The Bible is the living word that my blood runs through.  The more you read the more you will feel my presence surrounding you.

Do you know who I am?  It is I, Jesus Christ.  The Son of God who died on the cross for your sins so that you may be able to enter the kingdom of heaven and be with my Father and myself for eternity.  The day you accept me into your life, you will see me by your side.  That day, you will be able to hear my every word that is spoken to you.  You will feel my touch upon your hand leading you down the narrow and righteous road that ends in heaven.  Give your life to me, and each day will be filled with my presence and guidance to lead you down the path God has planned for you.
