Your yesterdays once were tomorrows.
Remember? Your yesterdays brought you right where you are.
'Every now and again' switches to 'every then and there.
' What revolutionary changes! But it is just natural.
Every yesterday moves you to think about what you did and how you did it and what you got from what you did.
That brings accretion of results that fit you out for celebration or a time for bemoaning the lack of celebration.
Corrective steps are mounted to right the errors that put your progress so badly in check, sad to have it that way sometimes.
There is 'counting the cost' in each event that saps our energy in the execution of our labor.
Where else do we more realize our self-worth than when we examine the effects of our yesterdays in order to better shape the events of our tomorrows? Actions gone by beat the path next to follow and richly noses into what may be needed.
Right, but that's from the human angle.
However, our earthly evaluation is of little add-up when we pause to remember our mission here on earth.
The giddy height of success in matters relating to other things but heaven should take less of the resolve - the core worth of our earthly stopover.
Here is where our tomorrows come to be of more interest than our yesterdays.
Our tomorrow is the time when we can become what God has intended us to be.
Joshua had this in focus when he was addressing a nation that merited to be cast out by God judging by their monumental sins against Him.
It is in order not to miss out from divine plans that Joshua said to them, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
" Christian communities of this world, refit and realign yourselves with God's plans and watch Him wrought wonders in your lives.
The Devil, for sure, will try to have you think differently by pointing at the list of your repeated failures of the past.
No doubt, God will call you to brace up so you can receive His blessing.
At the time Jesus cried, "It is finished!" (John 19: 30), His disciples understood Him out of context.
They dithered and found an escape route to think about the tomorrows they had thought there couldn't be.
But in God's agenda the end of one thing is the beginning of another.
Jesus rose the third day to confirm and affix a stick down on your tomorrow to hand in the eternal blissful future that is the promise to believers.
Hold tenaciously to your tomorrows while giving up your yesterdays.
Embark on no regret trip regarding your past disappointments, let them be gone with the crucified Christ.
See your tomorrows in the light of Joshua's words.
Peace.
