After all, tomorrow's gonna be another day...

The Lord showed me lately that faith and trust in Him is staying calm and holding on to His promises. It's having a positive attitude in difficulty and when facing what appears to be insurmountable odds. It's knowing that He's going to come through for me. We have to know that everything is going to work out ok when we trust in Him. Have you ever felt overwhelmed and hopeless? Well, there's always hope with God. I have learned a lesson from Scarlette O'Hara in the movie "Gone with the Wind". What??? Yes, the Lord impressed upon my heart one time this scene of her in one of the gutters of her life. She was collapsed at the bottom of her glamorous stairway. Her husband had just left her. What would come next? It was a miserable situation! You get the feeling that in all of her drama, she would just have a nervous breakdown or something along those lines. Instead she made an amazing statement in her strong southern drawl that was the ultimate expression of her outrageous resolve. It goes something like this- "...I can't think about that right now. I'll go crazy if I do. I'll think about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow's gonna be another day." Amazing! There is so much power in the decision to live by that philosphy. God is faithful! If we hold on to Him and possess this kind of resolve, He will have the chance to prove Himself faithful and good. I've found this to be true! Always!
