“Anyone want to buy some exercise equipment? I’m having a going-out-of-fitness sale.”
When do we finally admit that exercise equipment alone will not get us into shape? We may have the equipment, but without the time, will, and motivation to use it consistently, it cannot make the difference for us.
Now bring that same thought closer to home. Many of us say things like: “I’m going to start reading through the Bible tomorrow.” “I’m going to make prayer a priority starting tomorrow.” or “I know I can do better, and I will—starting tomorrow.”
But how many people never received the tomorrow they were counting on? Maybe that includes you in some area of life. It is worth serious consideration.
James 4:13-14
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
