TOmORROw'S NoT pROmIsED!

This is an old post that really touches me even today. I hope it does the same for you. Enjoy!

So.....we trust the Chef in the kitchen (who I'm telling you from first hand experience might not be doing everything with cleanliness and health in mind) to give you quality and safe food at your favorite restaurant?

We trust the pilot who we can't see (Have you seen Denzel Washington's Flight? Just sayin') to get us to our destination thousands of miles into the sky?

And we trust the banker or financial counselor who has direct access to all of our savings and investments?
Most, if not all of the above, we can't see or even if so, we don't know what is in their hearts and minds or if they carry integrity with them but we cannot trust a God whose faithfulness is shown through every double rainbow, the sun staying in place, fires that burn every apartment in a building down except the one I am in (true story), and the seas that don't mix or overlap each other, etc., every safe passage through literal and figurative storms that some don't escape, your ability to breath daily, and the other countless miracles that modern science and the naysayer are still unable to explain?

Please stop!

Hypocrisy has blinded us to a simple reality: We trust what we can't see every day of our lives. I would humbly offer the explanation that perhaps accepting the idea of a higher power isn't the problem. "Mother Nature" is still getting props and praise and that's absolutely ridiculous! The real problem might be accepting am unseen Creator, which instantly means you were made with purpose then you not only have to accept the purpose and walk it out effectively but then you have to honor that same God with your whole life. That's way harder than throwing a few occasional bones to  "The Man Upstairs".

Just something to think about.
I think current events remind us that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Make the most of your today!
