We may not know what tomorrow holds but we do know the One who holds tomorrow. We’ve probably all heard those words before and been comforted by them but actually we do know some of what our tomorrows hold.
God has promised us many things about our tomorrows, about our futures. He says He holds victory in store for the upright.(Proverbs 2:7 NIV 1984) That means no matter what things look like, even if right now they’re spiralling downwards, God has stored up our victory for us to walk into, to overcome and be the victor in our situation. When He says it’s our faith that will overcome the world,(1 John 5:4) we realise how important it is to be nurturing and growing our faith!😊
God has also promised to provide all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.(Phil.4:19) If we belong to Jesus we will be givers, and just as the Philippians had given sacrificially to the believers in Jerusalem, so God promised them He would also provide for their needs. Sometimes it’s good to look at our giving, as Jesus said “Give and it will be given to you.”
The widow who Elijah met gave him her last flour and oil to make a cake and then she was miraculously, abundantly provided for. We might say “You give me first, then I’ll give”, but God says the opposite because He wants to see our faith in Him. God’s ways are not ours!
The Good News is, God’s provision and His victory are in our futures. Those are only two promises to hold on to and we all know there are hundreds more, but for now, these two are good starters, don’t you think?😊
Thank You Lord we can trust You with our tomorrows. Amen.
