WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW…. WHO KNOWS?

“You do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” – James 4:14. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Only God knows. Because God is our Creator. He is omnipotent. He is omniscient. He is beyond time. Even what has not happened, God knows it. When we are in God’s hands, then we need not worry about tomorrow. Jesus himself says, “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34.

OUR FAITHFUL GOD

My dear brothers and sisters, in today’s world it is very difficult to find someone who is faithful; whether a friend, a spouse, an employee, a worker or anyone. Some time or the other that person will become unfaithful to you. And this is the time we try to search for the one who is always faithful. He is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ. As St. Paul says to the Thessalonians, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

Many of us would have watched movies or pictures or TV serials or short commercial films. The main theme in all is revenge. Due to some reason one character in the film becomes the villian and swears to take revenge on the hero or heroine. And in the end of the film the revenge is taken and the film is over. There are many cases like this in real life too; maybe in your life too; where your want to fight against a relative or friend or neighbour and take revenge. But this is not what the Holy Bible tells us to do. In Exodus 14:14 we read “The Lord will fight for you and you have only to keep still.” It is very difficult to forget incidents and to forget the bad that some people have done to us. Sometimes, we want to fight back by doing the same that they did to us. But if we do the same, then what is the difference between them and us. For Romans 12:21 says, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." The Word of God teaches us to “Love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.” – Matthew 5:44.

A NEW LIFE

In the life of every person, there will be a time where he or she has experienced a new life. For many it would be a physical healing, where the person has been healed from a deadly disease and got his life back. This relates to the body. But what is important is being healed spiritually. As the word of God says “Clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4:24. Gaining a new life means putting away your sinful life and accepting the word of Jesus Christ which has the power to cleanse and to make one new. “Put away anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you” – Ephesians 4:31.
