概要

 The Bible reminds us that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Alexis A. Goring reflects on the importance of trusting God with the future and living each day in His guidance. Planning is wise, but it must always be done in alignment with God’s will. When it comes to salvation, the urgency is clear: follow Christ today, because the opportunity may not be there tomorrow. Goring contrasts worldly hope with eternal hope, showing how human reliance on “tomorrow” can lull us into postponing crucial spiritual decisions, while Scripture urges immediate faith and readiness for Christ’s return. Highlights Life is unpredictable; no day is guaranteed. Planning is important, but always with God’s guidance (“God-willing”). Secular optimism can lull us into delay, while biblical hope emphasizes eternal perspective. Salvation is urgent—accept Jesus today, because tomorrow is not promised. Living with awareness of Christ’s return encourages holiness and readiness. Scripture calls believers to live faithfully in the present, trusting God’s provision. Intersecting Faith & Life Ask yourself: How often do you say “tomorrow” without including God in your plans? Are there spiritual steps you’ve been postponing? Today is the day to surrender your life to Christ and live in the light of His promises, trusting that He equips you for each moment. This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Goring Bible Reading: “Never boast about tomorrow. You don't know what will happen between now and then.” - Proverbs 27:1 (GNT) There was a time in my life when I used to make plans for tomorrow and talk about them as if they were sure to come true. Until one day, a friend carefully told me that she’s learned to say “God-willing” when she makes plans because the Bible says tomorrow is not promised. Her words resonated with me and still ring true today. Nowadays, when I speak of my plans for the future—even if it’s only 24 hours away—I say “God-willing” at the end of my sentence. As I reflected on this recently, two songs came to my mind. They share the same title but preach a different message—one secular, with worldly wisdom and a temporary promise, and one Biblical, with words of caution, graced with eternity in mind. The secular song “Tomorrow” from the original movie Annie (1982) and the Gospel song “Tomorrow” performed by The Winans both convey a message of hope, but only one speaks of everlasting hope. Let’s look at the core message of these songs and think about it. The lyrics of the song “Tomorrow” from the 1982 movie “Annie”, performed by Aileen Quinn, say (in paraphrase): The singer banks on the sun rising tomorrow. She believes you can bet your last dollar that tomorrow will arrive. As she thinks about the beauty and promises of tomorrow, she feels her sorrows lift. When days are dark, and she feels depressed and lonely, she rises and declares with a wide grin that tomorrow is on the horizon, so she will be okay no matter what happens because tomorrow will be a better day, and it’s only 24 hours away. The lyrics for the song “Tomorrow,” performed by The Winans, say (in paraphrase): Jesus Christ is knocking on the door of your heart, saying He is here, asking you to let Him in. He reminds you that He supplies everything you need. Then the person responds that they know this to be true. They tell Jesus that they will let Him in, not today, but tomorrow. They say tomorrow is a better time for them to give their life to Christ. They don’t feel an urgency in choosing to serve the Lord today. The singers of this song caution the listener that the Bible says tomorrow is not promised, so it might be too late because they may not live to see the next day. This is the main point: We cannot bet our bottom dollar on life getting better tomorrow because the Bible says tomorrow is not promised. Does this mean that we should not look forward to tomorrow and make plans for our future? Of course not. We are to stay fully focused on the present and look forward to the next day. But we are not supposed to plan without including God. And when it comes to our salvation in Jesus Christ, we should accept Him into our lives today because we don’t know if we will live another 24 hours. According to The Bible, when God tells Jesus Christ it’s time for Him to return to Earth to take His ...
