What tomorrow may bring
God has given us a memory, that we may look back. It would be well if
We used our memories better, to remember, reflect and repent. God has
Not given us eyes to pry into the future. He unveils the past for our
Penitence, but He veils the future from our curiosity.
Dark days may be near at hand for some of us, but we do not perceive
Them. Let us be thankful that we do not, for our afflictions would be
Multiplied at the foresight of them. The prospect of evil to come might
Cast a gloom over pleasure at hand. As we may feel a thousand deaths
In fearing one, so we may faint under a single stroke in dreading a
Thousand.
It is good that God conceals our earthly joys until the time of their arrival.
Great prosperity may await you, but you do not know it. It is just as well,
For you might be none the better for the prospect. Earth’s goods are like
Glue; they are apt to hold us to things below and prevent us from soaring
Toward heaven. I, then, we could know all the pleasurable events that
May happen, we might become more worldly and more earthbound
Than we are. None of us should desire that this present evil world
Should have an increased influence over us. We are glad that it should
Have less. Thus, we rejoice that its future has a slight power over us
Because that future is unknown.
Pray for this world that the Lord has created. Celebrate the beauty and
Know that God is in control. We must trust in the Lord and remember
That He loves us.
Pray for Canada and all the people. May our leaders be blessed with
Wisdom from God.
Pray for the children of the world. That they may know the Lord. Lead
Those who do not know God to the blessed assurance we have as
Christians.
The Lord will never leave us.
