Tomorrow 

   “But God said to him, ‘You fool!  This very night   your life will be demanded of  you.’” (Luke 12: 20) 

   How often do we, like the rich man, think of tomorrow rather than today?  But we never know when our life will be demanded of us, so tomorrow may never come.  What we had planned will never come to pass and what we have amassed will belong to another.

   In many things this is of little importance, the minutia we all put off until tomorrow or the next day because it isn’t a priority and, if it doesn’t get done at all, it’s not a big deal.

   However, the one thing that many people put off that is the most important of all is their spiritual well-being.  If you are not right in your relationship with God and your life is demanded of you this night there is no going back to fix it, you have lost any chance of eternal happiness.

   Put off the unimportant if you must, but never put off gaining the promise of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.  He is freely offering salvation and eternal joy and happiness.  Accept His gift of forgiveness now because tomorrow may never come.
