The tomorrows

I was reflecting this morning on two rather different passages, one from Romans 6 and the other from James 4: 13-17. The reading from James really spoke to me, it was about our tomorrows. Am I getting so concerned about what is happening tomorrow that I do not even stop to see if it is what God is taking me to? At the moment, I don’t think I am, I’m taking each day at a time and letting God guide me. But it has happened in the past and I’m trying to make sure that it doesn’t happen in the future … but I am just a person, human at that, so it may well occur once again.

But I do take heed of verse 14: “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.” There’s a sobering thought, life here on earth will not last forever, we’re are mere tenants of His earth, our future is in eternity. What am I leaving here to ensure that others' eternity will be spent with Him in Heaven?
