God has determined the number of days and hours we will live on earth. Therefore, we can’t go past the days He has set for us. That’s why it’s so important for us to stay focused on living a life that’s pleasing to God; living life each day as if it’s our last day and making every minute count. For tomorrow is not promised to anyone. “You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer.” – (Job 14:5) NLT
There is nothing like spending time with those we love the most, such as our spouse, children, family members, friends and others. We should let them know daily how much we love and appreciate them. Every moment is precious and we should hold tight to the memories and cherish them while we are given the chance. We’re here one minute and can be gone the next, so make no room for regrets; tomorrow is not promised to anyone. “Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” – (James 4:14) NKJV
We spend so much of our lives worrying about tomorrow, thinking about the next day and the next task. We need to realize, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. So let us live in the present and tackle today’s troubles. Tomorrow will bring with it enough challenges of its own if we live to see it. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” – (Matthew 6:34) NIV
The devil has a lot of people fooled by making them think they have plenty of time to get their life right with God. Stop believing what the devil is telling you and get your life right with God today; tomorrow is not promised to anyone. No one knows when Jesus will return for He will come at an hour you least expect. “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” – (Matthew 24:36) KJV
Oftentimes we make plans about what we’re going to do tomorrow. We should not be overconfident about tomorrow and what it may bring. Live each day to the fullest; tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Once we do this, we will avoid boasting about our future plans and trust what God has planned for us. “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” – (Proverbs 27:1) NKJV
So be encouraged today and always remember: Our life is temporary. This is why we must be grateful to God each day we wake up; tomorrow is not promised to anyone. “For we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.” – (Job 8:9) NIV
