*As we rise up each day, we must strive to have a positive focus on tomorrow.*
*Tomorrow is a journey that is constantly evolving before man.*
*And so much about our lives is packaged inside our tomorrow.*
*A man who is unexcited about tomorrow will likely face depression and sadness.*
*When the Word of God says :*
*Genesis 1: [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.*
*[29]And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.*
*It was because God wanted man to go and rule his world via His promises. And the promises of God above were built into the tomorrow of man.*
*In the quoted passage, God was literally saying “your tomorrow is good, and it is your hands, go and take it”.*
*When a man commits suicide in his journey of life, it is because HE HAD GIVEN UP ON TOMORROW. Such a man can no longer stand up and look at tomorrow in the face.*
*About our tomorrow, Jesus warned all men :*
*Matthew 6: [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?*
*[31]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?*
*[32](For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.*
*[33]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.*
*[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.*
*This is why FAITH in God is crucial for our journey of tomorrow.*
*Please know that Faith is the “Speedometer” for the journey of tomorrow.*
*Imagine how faith itself is defined :*
*Hebrews 11: [1]Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.*
*What therefore is the connection between our yesterday, today and tomorrow?*
*We are to leverage on the experience of yesterday, standing on the shoulders of the opportunities that today is giving to us, and be prepared and motivated to press forward towards our journey and goals of life inside tomorrow.*
*We should always remember this :*
*it is in the constant turning of the wheels of life and time, that our stories are seen and written.*
*This is why whosoever does not have God on his side going into the future, is like a man taking a walk into DARKNESS.*
*Please permit me to ask you this : is God on your side as you go forward in your journey of life?*
*Know that God can only be on your side if you accept His Son Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, and you walk righteously before Him.*
Do have a great week ahead of you.
