There's Always a Tomorrow
It was late in the afternoon when we walked out over the marshland
in Point Pelee, the most southern point in Canada. It had been a
hot, sunny day, and to my surprise, the aquatic plants all seemed to
have taken the brunt of it. There they were, completely wilted!
Too often we feel like these poor marsh plants, don't we? Too often
we too take the brunt of the adversities of any given day, and we
are left wanting, exhausted and demoralized. Where did this all come
from? We tend to remain reminiscent for days and weeks over such
events, and they leave us, quite literally, "out of steam".
Something miraculous happened to those plants through the night,
however. The next morning they had all been miraculously
reinvigorated, spreading their leaves wide to proudly display their
blooms.
Why doesn't this happen to us? Is it possible that we tend to focus
more on our circumstances than in the promises of out loving
Heavenly Father?
Are we tired of going through one adversity after another? The
solution is simple: spend time with our Maker. It will revive us,
guaranteed! "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28 KJV)
Are we feeling out of touch with the Almighty due to trials that
seem to darken our outlook on life? Let's go to Him and learn from
Him. Renewed strength will refresh our inner core, giving us a
unique perspective of our situation. "Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls." (Matt 11:29 KJV)
King David faced numerous trials, more so than most of us. Still he
declared: "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive
me..." (Ps 138:7 KJV). He had come to know God intimately. He had
experienced the Truth that God ALWAYS keeps His promises.
With this in mind, we can't help but thank and praise Him, even
amidst our dire circumstances, for we live in expectation of His
provision! "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the
Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Eph 5:20 KJV)
We may feel welted in the evening, but let's expect revival in the
morning!
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Ps
30:5 KJV)
