God Holds Tomorrow

 God Holds Tomorrow

As humans, we have a natural tendency to worry about the future. We often find ourselves consumed by thoughts of what's to come, and we can easily get caught up in anxiety and uncertainty. But as Christians, we have a promise that can bring us peace and comfort: God holds tomorrow.

In Matthew 6:34, Jesus tells us, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." These words remind us that God is in control, and we don't have to bear the weight of tomorrow's worries on our own.

The story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 is a powerful illustration of God's sovereignty over our lives. Mephibosheth, the grandson of Saul, was crippled in both feet and felt like he didn't deserve God's blessing. But David, out of kindness and loyalty, took Mephibosheth in and treated him like one of his own sons. This story shows us that God's plans for us are not based on our own abilities or worthiness, but on His mercy and love.

Ecclesiastes 3:16 says, "And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there." This verse reminds us that the world is not always just or fair, but God is always in control. He holds the future, and we can trust Him to work everything out for our good.

In Joshua 10:13, we read, "So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." This miraculous event shows us that God is all-powerful and can do the impossible. He can hold back time itself, and He can certainly hold our tomorrows.

Finally, Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." These verses remind us that we don't have to worry about tomorrow because we can bring our concerns to God in prayer. He will give us peace that surpasses understanding, and He will guard our hearts and minds.

As we look to the future, let us remember that God holds tomorrow. He is in control, and we can trust Him to work everything out for our good. Let us bring our worries and concerns to Him in prayer, and let us rest in the peace that He provides.
