Tomorrow Belongs To God

 

How much we miss, in this life of grace, by our constant worry and our lack of patience in our dealings with the Lord.  I read sometime ago of a tragedy which befell a home somewhere in the middle west.  In the middle of a cold, winter's night an accident occurred which took the lives of a man and his two sons.  A day or two later, a widow with snow-white hair, turned from the side of the three graves and started for the vehicle which was to take her back to what, seemingly, was an empty home.

Sympathetic eyes watched her every move.  Hearts were beating in compassion for this woman whose hair had turned to silver and who had been left without very many material possessions with which to carry on.  People wondered where she would go and what she would do.
 They knew it was useless for her to try to run the farm on which she had lived, for that was a man's job; and help was not plentiful in the community.  So the officiating minister followed her into the house and, seated on the opposite side of the table, he sympathized with her in her tragic bereavement, and then asked her about the future.  He said, "What are you going to do and how are you going to live?"  A smile came across her wrinkled countenance, and the love-light, which came shining from her eyes, was merely an expression of the Christ Who dwelt within, and an indication of the trust that she put in her Lord.  Slowly she answered, "I cannot tell you.  I do not know.  All I know is that today is mine.  But tomorrow belongs to the Father."  There was no worry; there was no fear gnawing at the vitals of her heart.  Rather there was a deep, abiding consciousness of the lovely Presence of our Lord, and an assurance that He would take her through.

Step by step God leads His children over the rough highways of life to the place where the road is smoother, or to the meadows where our weary feet can rest.

It is only as we learn the lesson of taking one step at a time that we can understand the sublimity of patience.

Happy are we when we learn the lesson of resting in the Lord and waiting patiently for Him!

by C S Price

Romans 14:23 tells us simply that anything that is not of faith is sin.  faith comes from God. (James 1:17) Faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) It is possible to read the Bible and not hear the word of God. (2 Corinthians 3:14)
