I always wonder what is coming next. There is a mystery to tomorrow that I like to believe that most of us would appreciate a sneak peek, or full view, of to take away the anxiety that comes with the unknown. Whereas there is no “crystal ball” to give us that vision, we do have Christ that provides comfort for tomorrow through His Glory.
“27To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27 (ESV)
This morning it took me a bit to understand what it is that God is revealing to me here. My mind was wandering as to how the rest of my day is going to unfold. What twists and turns will I have to negotiate and where will the day lead me as well as end up. I see now that the mystery of the unknown can be somewhat paralytic when things are not taken in stride as they come.
God reveals in His time. The mystery of tomorrow with Christ is really not much of a mystery at all. I have salvation that was provided by His death and resurrection and that salvation gives comfort, when we are aware of and embrace it. I am granted the view into tomorrow by the glory of God and all that He is. I may not know exactly what the day will hold, but I do know that whatever it is, God will take care of me in that so that I will be able to accomplish His task for me and be rewarded in heaven with Him.
What are you anxious about when looking at tomorrow? Are you trying to see all and know all? What if you were simply to accept the salvation and glory of God and allow Him to reveal His Glory to you?
