Tomorrow

Tomorrow

I know we all look to tomorrow with anticipation that it will come and with it all the manifestations of our labor. Yet, there is a time appointed to die. The day is sealed in the bosom of Abraham; God. Ofttimes some idolize others who seemingly know more and have gained more than they themselves have obtained. Therefore there is a great danger in loving man more than God. Know this: tomorrow may never come. Live as if you share the dream of the disciples.

Job 32:9 “Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.”
Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Luke 12:40 “Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”
John 7:6 “Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.”
"If Tomorrow Never Comes" is a song recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. Written by Brooks and Kent Blazy, it was released in August 1989. I interpret and apply meaning somewhat differently than others as it relates to the heart of mankind.

Sometimes late at night, I hear God call and lie there awake and praying. The world is lost in peaceful dreams of fulfillment. I hear no call to action from God, So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark. My mind crosses the boundaries of time and space. I know that if I never wake up in the morning, Christ would never doubt the way I cherish Him in my Heart. If for me, tomorrow never comes, He will know how much I loved him. I have tried in every way, every day, to show Him that He’s my only hope and joy. I am looking for His coming.

Now, if my life on earth is finished and family and friends must face the world without me. Is the love I’ve showed them in the past gonna be enough to last until Jesus for them comes?

I have wondered about lost love ones in my life. Did they really know Christ? Did I do enough to shine a light before them. I suppose it is a smug attitude that we say: “They are in the hands of a just God.” What else is there to rely upon? If I don’t know that they knew how much Jesus loved them, I live with the regret that Christ’s true feelings for them might never have been said. Now I have made a promise to myself and before God. To walk each day in a way showing how much He means to me. Thus, I avoid that circumstance where there's no second chance to show them how I feel.

If I never see tomorrow, have I done enough for Jesus to lay love upon their heart? Will it be enough to last until their last tomorrow comes.

If tomorrow never comes, make sure you have done enough to show that some lost soul that Jesus loves them. Live today as though tomorrow will not come.

Know God, know peace. Amen. 04/27/21 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
