There were the deposit slips, a stack of them, every one carefully labeled: “For all my tomorrows.” In the bank account was every penny of that painstakingly gathered money. The accounts were all balanced, the totals verified, everything in order for beginning the long-waited-for “tomorrows.” There were the funds-but the depositor, where was she? A sudden stroke, a brief illness, and she had gone to an unplanned-for “tomorrow.” If only she had thought more of the endless tomorrow at the end of life on earth!
And the money? The precious money, for which so many small pleasures had been denied, had gone to the distant relatives who were her only heirs. There it started a bitter argument over who should have the largest share.
John Wanamaker, known for his great success in business, used to say, “Steer clear of tomorrows as far as you can.” He was right. Even matters of real importance, if “put off till tomorrow,” will possibly never get done at all.
If this is true in human affairs, it is true and doubly important in the matter of the soul’s salvation. The Bible, which is the final authority, says, “Now is the day of salvation.”
The Lord Jesus is the Savior, and all are invited to come to Him and be saved. His cleansing blood avails for the worst sinner.
When is it that you are urged to come? That is the vital point: It is TODAY!
“Steer clear of tomorrows.” Have nothing to do with them.
Tomorrow may be one day too late. Your opportunity may have passed. Life is uncertain. Many dangers surround us, and the coming of the Lord draws near.
The God of infinite love, who desires to have all to be saved, pleads that you will make this the day of your salvation. Heaven would rejoice at your coming to Christ!
If you accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior today, He will take charge of your tomorrows, yes, even your forever. Your eternity will be spent in His presence where there is “fullness of joy.”
