“TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE”!

This statement was made by Sean Connery to Nicholas Cage in the movie “The Rock”.
Connery was playing an ex-British spy named mason, imprisoned for thirty years by the Americans without being charged. His crime: he kept a microfilm containing dangerous secret information (like who really murdered JFK).

Now, what about the statement? “Tomorrow is promised to no one”! This is absolutely true! Man does not control his future. God does!

Remember the song “I Don’t Know About Tomorrow.” Well, it is a good reminder to all of us that we have no control whatsoever about the future. It is beyond us. The future is God’s domain. No finite human being can really know what lies ahead. To say that one can, is presumption, if not outright lie.

But Praise God, we can be assured & be at peace in our hearts and minds (Phil. 4:4-7) that God is Sovereign. He is in full control. We know that the “One who knows, our God and Savior The LORD Jesus Christ” controls, knows the future. Praise His Holy Name!

The words of the song “I Don’t Know About Tomorrow” follows:

I don’t know about tomorrow I just live from day to day.
I don’t borrow from its sunshine for its sky may turn to gray.
I don’t worry o’er the future for I know what Jesus said.
And today I’ll walk beside Him for He knows what is ahead.

Chorus: Many things about tomorrow I don’t seem to understand.
But I know who holds tomorrow & I know who holds my hand.

Every step is getting brighter as the golden stairs I climb.
Every burden’s getting lighter every cloud is silver lined.
There the path is always shining there no tear will deem the eye.
At the ending of the rainbow where the mountains touch the sky. (Repeat chorus).

Child of God, leave your daily cares, doubts, fears, & worries about the future at God’s “Throne of Grace” (Psalm 42:8, 11; Isaiah 41:10; 2Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 4:16).
Don’t carry them unnecessarily. The LORD cares and desires to carry those burdens for you. You need only do what He says (1Peter 5:7). Cast them upon the LORD. When you do, you become “care less”!

Trust Him with your future (Proverbs 3:5-6). God is more than able because He is the Almighty God of the Holy Scriptures (Ephesians 3:20-21). Hallelujah!!!

For the person who is not God’s child, the LORD JESUS gives an invitation in Matthew 11:28-30 to come to Him with your sin(s).

Repent (Mark 1:15) of your sins.
Believe (John 3:16-18) on the LORD Jesus.
And Receive (John 1:12) Him as your Savior & LORD.

When you truly & sincerely call upon the name of the LORD (Romans 10:9-10), He will save you. Yours sins will be forgiven, blot out, washed away by the BLOOD of Jesus (Hebrews 9:22). You become God’s child (John 1:12). You receive the gift of eternal life (John 6:47) and the promise of eternity in heaven with God (John 14:1-3).

This is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
