If to-morrows are not to be boasted of, are they good for nothing? No,
blessed be God. There are a great many things we may do with to-morrows.
I will tell you what we may do with them if we are the children of God.
We may always look forward to them with patience and confidence , that
they will work together for our good. We may say of the to-morrows, “I
do not boast of them, but I am not frightened at them; I would not glory
in them, but I will not tremble about them.” Yes, we may be very easy
and very comfortable about to-morrow; we may remember that all our times are in His hands, that all events are at His command; and though we know not all the windings of the path of providence, yet He knows them all;
they are all settled in His book, and our times are all ordered by His
wisdom. And, therefore, we may look upon the to-morrows as we see them in the rough bullion of time, about to be minted into every-day’s
expenditure, and we may say of them all, “They shall all be gold; they
shall all be stamped with the King’s impress, and therefore, let them
come; they will not make me worse–they will work together for my good.”
Yea, more, a Christian may rightly look forward to his to-morrows, not
simply with resignation, but also with joy . To-morrow to a Christian
is a happy thing; it is one stage nearer glory. It is one step nearer
heaven to a believer; it is just one knot more sailed across the
dangerous sea of life, and he is so much the nearer to his eternal port.
To-morrow! the Christian may rejoice at it; he may say of to-day, “O
day, thou mayst be dark, but I shall bid thee good by, for lo, I see the
morrow coming, and I shall mount upon its wings, and shall flee away and
leave thee and thy sorrows far behind me.”
