No Tomorrow
Last night i got so in a tiz about how many people actually don't have any faith in God and about actually where they might be ending up in the next life that i went to bed a little bit depressed and with so many things sifting through my head.
Twice in the last two days (if you do the math as Sandra Ryan calls it, that's one person a day) i have heard two people express their concern for just how many people will be perishing in hell and i have to say, i feel exactly the same way. One man even went as far as saying to me that he had been sitting at the cricket on the weekend and had stopped to think that the entire stadium or arena or whatever you want to call it, could end up spending eternity in hell. That's a very vivid thought but one which could be so real. It sort of increases the need to be reading the bible more and to be speaking words of God more. But it got me thinking and my mind went straight to a verse in the bible about judgement. It's not for us to judge who's going where, even though the obvious can seem a little depressing, Jesus will take care of that when he comes back. It's up to God via us to be making sure that people are heading in the opposite direction.
On the train in this morning i was reading my bible, like i have been indulging in for a while now, and this verse was shared with me by God....
The crazy thing about it is that something else i went to sleep pondering was the crazy revelation that there is in fact no tomorrow! After i realised it, i was so shocked by it.....it's true, there is no such thing as tomorrow!!!!! It's a word that we as humans have created to make sense of something and express something that's not even there, there is no such thing as tomorrow?! It's a word we use for a day that's not even there!!!! I know i sound a little bit excited but why do we put everything - and i mean EVERYTHING - off until tomorrow??? There's no such thing, when tomorrow comes, it's TODAY!!!! So in effect THERE IS NO TOMORROW!!!! IT'S JUST A WORD?!?!?!
As i sat reading James this morning, after a long praying session, God opened another passage following straight on from the last one. It wasn't something i had to flip through to find (which is how i usually read the bible) but something i simply opened up to and started reading. Two passages, one after the other relating to two of the the exact same things i had gone to bed continually thinking about!!! I hadn't even realised that these verses had come from the same part of scripture until i went to blog about the things i was spewing with in my mind last nite and so here are the verses....

"There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you - who are you to judge your neighbour?"
James 4:12

"Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."James 4:14,15
So don't live your life as if things are going to happen or start tomorrow, in fact erase that word completely! Live your life as though things should happen or start today because they should!!! Don't worry about who's going to heaven or hell because through God we can be planting the seeds in people's lives which can enable them to spend eternity with Christ in heaven!
LIVING IN TODAY - NOT TOMORROW!
