WHO HOLDS TOMORROW?

One old song explains that "I know who holds tomorrow". The chorus goes thus "... many things about tomorrow, I didn't seem to understand, but I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hands".

Why then we still have plans about tomorrow and we know by sure that we cannot live tomorrow? Who holds tomorrow and why?

In politics politicians are fighting for power, but regardless of who wins the election, do they hold tomorrow? The simple answer is not; then who holds tomorrow?

I know who holds tomorrow. It's not in the hands of a president, a governor, or any other leader of the nation. Even if we don’t have leadership, the world wouldn't come to an end without one of them leading us. But, without God in our lives, perhaps tomorrow wouldn't look so grateful.

Today, is where we belong, in our thinking we should be in today, not yesterday, not tomorrow? This day is the day in which we should live this is the only truth.

Yesterday is okay to be remembered from time to time. As a matter of fact, our minds will take us there. Without warning, most times. There were good times yesterday. We were happy then. We want to remember those positive times,

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. We should plan to be in it, but we are foolish when we try living it out in today. 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." In order words, don't dwell on tomorrow.

James 4:13-16 Here, James tells us tomorrow is as uncertain as the wind, No one knows when there last day on earth will take place, The Bible says that we shouldn't make our plans out of God's will since we never know what tomorrow will bring, For someone to boast or brag about their future plans is evil because the Lord is the one who will ultimately decide if we will live to partake in those activities.  James advises us to say, "If it is God's will, then I will go...."

Joshua

"Be strong and of good courage; be neither afraid nor dismayed for the Lord is with you wherever you go."  Joshua 1:9

Job:

"In his hands are the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

The strings in the experiences of others may cause the strings in our experience to vibrate, and we find our hearts sympathizing or celebrating with them.

It is only the God Who Holds Tomorrow" is One, Who "was made in the likeness of men" (Phil. 2:7), who became one of us, who will take care of our future! Perhaps it is the reality that man does not have the ability to know or see the future that gives him the feeling of insecurity.

The lesson here is that we need to develop our “Faith” is about trusting what is unseen and uncertain (Hebrews 11:1) and so faith is the opposite of fear. This means that if we are having fear about the future, we are losing faith in God. We try to fill our fears with hard work and by securing our material needs. This suggests that ours fears are brought about by our dependence on our own strength or our trust in our own abilities rather than trusting in God.

If man can never know the future, there is one thing he can do to secure his future: trust in God who holds the future. The next question to answer after knowing whom to trust is "how can we trust God?" One definite answer is commitment. If we are to trust God, we must be able to have the commitment to entrust everything to Him without any reservation, without any dose of doubt. 

We are to trust God that He will provide us all our needs but it does not however mean that we should not be doing anything and that we will just wait for God' provision. It is our obligation to do our part as has been said, "do your best and God will do the rest." It is but necessary for man to plan and prepare for the future as with a student to study hard and for parents to work to earn a living. What makes things undesirable in the eyes of God is the fact that man oftentimes "robs" Him.

In order for us to completely trust God for our future, we must be able to know what direction we are to take and of course we must choose to follow the direction that God wanted us to take. Prayer is always the best weapon that man could have. God ensures us that prayers is so powerful because "it is the key that unlocks God's blessings, power and direction (I Thessalonians 5:17-18). When we pray, we communicate to God whatever things that come to our minds and hearts. 

We can trust that He is willing to listen and to answer all our prayers. We can trust Him that He understands our situations, He knows our needs and He knows how much we can endure. Let us trust that God will not give us trials that we cannot endure. Matthew 6:34 encourage us to trust God even on things that we cannot foresee and the things that we do not understand.

God knows the future and He holds it, therefore we do not have any excuse of doubting whether He can support us all throughout. Trusting should not be partial and with reservation. It should be complete and absolute and most of all it should only be in God. We never know what the future holds because time machines are but fantasies. We will never know what tomorrow will bring because foretellers are no more than ordinary individuals. What we know is that we have a God to whom we can entrust our future. Although” Sometimes when things are going well for us, we think we don’t need God, but He is the One who gives us our next breath.
