Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Based on God's promises, we are daily presented with two realities:
  1. Either tomorrow will come, the earth will turn, and the seasons will pass in their appointed order.
  2. Or God will interrupt his appointed order. Jesus will come, and we'll share in his glory eternally.
These realities are more sure than the sun's rising in the morning and going down in the evening. Either way, God's promises win out over our fears and over Satan's intentions to do us harm. In other words, by God's grace, either way, we win with a new tomorrow!

My Prayer...

Thank you, Almighty Father, for your great and wonderful promises. I trust that tomorrow will come, for I know you and your faithfulness. I trust that either Jesus will come to take me home to be with you forever, or you will bring me a new day to live for you. Either way, I win. In the name of my coming and conquering Lord, I commit to honoring you whichever day you choose to bring! Amen.
