Tomorrow

Since the creation of time, there has been one constancy for men's aspirations, goals and desires. No one has invented a contrary concept or idea to replace it. One thing is clear, there's always a night that separates you and me from our best day. If you have a dream about a better future, about a life that is fulfilled and impactful, then continue to read.

Yesterday is in the past!

The past is always in the rear view. The past helps us to reminisce and recall happenings and events we can no longer change. Sometimes we are wishing that yesterday will never happen again. Or we just want to blot it out of our subconscious. If you have been through a problem you dragged yourself into, you will know what I'm talking about.

If you have made bad decisions or jokes that hurt someone, or written a poor commentary about another friend, in a Tweet or Facebook post and you can't take it back, you wish yesterday never had happened. Or you invested a lot of money in a project you knew was not the right way to go. Or made friends or joined a partnership with, or hired a man or woman your guts told you was a bad thing. Or you didn't pay the IRS taxes when they were due and now face stiff penalties and high interests. You're wishing today that yesterday should not have happened.

Friends, there is something yet to consider. Let me say it this way. One day a man is  in prison. His uniform is hung on the single nail on the cell wall. He is ready to go to bed, the 5 inch thick cotton filled mattress a far cry from what would offer his athletic body the best of comfort. But having been sleeping on it for seven years, he and the bed have found a way to adjust to each other. The crams are no longer anything but morning stretch out opportunities. This night, he had no idea that something is in the offing.

Tomorrow.

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." (Mother Theresa)

Early in one particular morning, a king arose from his feather-filled handmade bed with the most luxurious of satin textured beddings and neck-contoured pillows. The palatial bedroom the size of a football field filled with the breeze from nearby woods and nature. The only problem is on this morning, the king was more than troubled. The king had a bad night. The prisoner slept well. Both are awake to the Tomorrow. To one, life is normal. To the other, trouble is knocking.

To Prisoner Joseph, this next day held nothing different from other days except it was a Tomorrow to yesterday. He was soon whisked to the palace where the #1 occupant had a bad night. Joseph barely had enough time to change his prison uniform and shave. After all, he was heading to the palace as a guest of the King. All he was told was the king needed some dream specialists to interpret his twin dreams -  a good one and a bad.

By sunset on this Tomorrow, Joseph would not return to his impoverished prison cell. He was sent to the strategy room in the palace Guest House for visiting Heads of State to start the gigantic effort to savage the world from a melodrama of 7 years of surplus harvests to be followed by a devastating economic depression of a 7-year gestation. He was on this Tomorrow appointed by the King of Egypt as the most important national figure besides the king. And a wife was instantly betrothed to him. We are told he immediately went to work traveling all over Egypt and appointing officers to handle the monumental project ahead. (For the full story of Joseph's one-day rise from prisoner to the most powerful personality in Egypt and arguably the world of his time, see Genesis 41:1-57.)

Not many people can handle their Tomorrow. Some are too timid, faithless or just plain full of fear to tap into the enormity of the opportunities their Tomorrow holds. They are too engrossed with yesterday's failures and pains that Tomorrow means nothing to them. They have no idea that ahead of them is the responsibility to save the world Tomorrow. 

Two choices you can make:

You can fly high, Tomorrow!!!

You can see a Tomorrow filled with opportunities and blessings. Which will of course, call for hard work, wisdom, determination and guts. In other words, you dream of a Tomorrow where things will work. Where you will be in control. Where you will reflect the identity that God created you for. A Tomorrow of greatness, power and influence. One where you will attain to the fullness of your potentials in which you are going to live a life of relevance and impact on countless other mortals.

OR you can shut off your Tomorrow as inconsequential, unprofitable and jinxed. You make this work out well by poor choices, laziness, dreamlessness and emptiness. You agree with your inner mind that nothing good can come out of you.

What do you think about your Tomorrow?
