Title: Be confident of tomorrow.

-
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:34 KJV.
Devotion: Christ commands us not to worry is enough reason to have hope in his plan for tomorrow. Emmanuel (God with us) is with us and if we believe this, then we don't have to worry about tomorrow because Emmanuel (God) will be there. This is particularly true when we live our lives in him daily. God is with us here and now, to find him there can be no dreaming or worrying about tomorrow. He will be there too, and so will we, when it becomes today.

James and Proverbs tell us not to boast about tomorrow either (Ja 4:13; Pr 27:1), but be confident about tomorrow because God will always be there with us.

This does not mean should not plan for tomorrow because will be held accountable for what was entrusted to us. (Matt 25: 14-30). All we need to do is be confident and not to worry about tomorrow; either we worry or not, when we plan it is God who will make it possible. Therefore it is better to commit our plans unto God. (Prov. 3:6). 

Ours is to trust God in each moment, stewarding each hour of our lives for the glory of God. If we can be doing that when he returns, we will experience both the abundant life he intended for us and the eternal reward of faithfulness.(1).

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
