Let’s take a moment and break these two days down.
Today is the day of grace, the day of glory, and possibly the day of judgment, Christ’s coming. Amen!
Tomorrow is when fools repent, tomorrow is satan’s today. He doesn’t care what good resolutions you have made; if you only fix your thoughts on tomorrow.
Today is the day of our salvation 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “For He (God) says, in the time of My favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, and now is the day of salvation!” Amen!
I don’t believe tomorrow has a “now” because now means: at the present time or moment, so you will only get today’s “now moment” today.
We don’t even know what tomorrow holds, but we can know Who holds tomorrow. In Isaiah 40:12 God gives us a vision of Himself as the “holder of tomorrow.” “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, or with the breadth of His hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance?”
What stands out to me is that is Isaiah is asking questions. I believe that if we answer these questions based on the foundation of our heart, therein lies the choice; Today? Or Tomorrow? You Choose.
I love that God, in His infinite wisdom, gave us the ability to choose. He wants us to receive all that He has planned for us today and realize the future we have in Him for tomorrow, “by faith.”
As long as we understand our need for salvation (preservation from destruction or failure) and understand the urgency of it, then our joys of today become our rejoicing tomorrow. Amen!
You see, our illusion of something besides salvation is our very present danger, and by accepting God as the truth, that becomes our liberation from ignorance.
God has never held anything from us, and He only wants good for us.
He’s not dangling a carrot or twisting our arms; He has set our life in motion from the beginning of time and has given us a free will.
By choosing to believe and answering Isaiah’s questions with, “My God” we pass the today test and are guaranteed un-ending tomorrows.
In the book of Joshua, Joshua makes a great statement about our entire focus so far. Joshua 24:15 says, “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served or the gods of the lands you are living in. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Amen!
I have seen parts of this verse on plaques in people’s homes, but “today” I have a greater understanding of what it means.
I also choose to serve the Lord “today”… You?
Our choices today affect so much of our life and time. Let’s make it a point to think before we react. Think before we commit. Think before we allow, and think before we join in. Pausing today and choosing to stay on God’s side will dramatically affect our “tomorrows”.
James 4:14 says, “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” Amen!
In early 2020 we saw firsthand what the difference a day can make, one day no Covid-19, the next day, and days ahead, a pandemic.
I also saw firsthand that God is the only one that can fix it, and keep us through it.
We can be assured that if God is with us, nothing can come against us!
He is calling on us today, let’s be wise and choose Him back!
Remember tomorrow is when fools choose.
I will end with this wonderful scripture found in Romans 8:31-32. “What then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him graciously give us all things?”
