What tomorrow holds......














What tomorrow holds.....

We plan, we organize, we worry, and agonize
Over a thing we cannot hold,
A thing we can never see.
It has no taste, no sound, no scent, no being;
And yet it changes every day.
Some run after it, some run away.
Dreams seek to rest on it,
Its where our minds chose to stay.
And yet it changes every day.
What tomorrow holds only One truly knows.
He is the Maker, omniscient,
The only One who makes tomorrows.
His word says to worry not, to make no plans;
Because only He is in control,
It all rests in His hands.
He is the beginning and the end,
Times upon times He sees.
So when He says to not worry,
It is His word I believe.
I do not know what tomorrow holds,
And cannot see what it brings;
But I can hold onto my God,
Who is good in all things.
What tomorrow holds, Only He truly sees.
I chose to trust in Him.
Though tomorrow changes from day to day
I know in whom I believe.


This song kept coming to my mind as I contemplated on what tomorrow really means and how God sees tomorrow. Click on the link to hear.

Are You A Worrier Or A Warrior?

Image
Are you a warrior or a worrier? There is a major distinction between the two. One overcomes the enemy and the other is overcome BY the enemy. I’m am not attacking your care for others. You can care about and for others without “worrying” about and for them. There is a care that is void of anxiety and worry. “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him , for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that t

The Transformation Chamber

Image
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2) Let’s talk insects. Specifically, butterflies. Most insects go through a transformation in their life cycle called METAMORPHOSIS. Metamorphosis is defined as: -           the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form. -           a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means. This process is how you get a butterfly from a caterpillar. You go from having a creature that spends its life crawling on the ground to having a creature that spends its life flying in the sky. They seem to be two different creatures. Separate in e

How Can This Be?

Image
“Then Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be….?’” (Luke 1:34a) Have you ever posed this same question to God? Have you ever cried to out to the Lord, saying “I do not understand!” or yelled out, “Why God?” when things were going on in your life that were far beyond your own understanding? I venture to guess all of you reading this have been in a similar place at one time or another (maybe even right now). I am by no means attempting to answer all the “why’s” of your life, but I do want to share with you a revelation I recently received about learning to move beyond my lack of understanding and trusting in the God who has spoken life over me. It all began with a word from the Lord. He said to me, “Mary received from Me even when she did not understand. She conceived from My word spoken over her even when she did not understand. She only believed My word. Though there are many things you do not understand, BELIEVE and CONCEIVE and you will bring forth My promi
