I MAY NEVER SEE TOMORROW

I may never see tomorrow, there's no guarantee,And things that happened yesterday belong to history.I can't predict the future, I can't change the past,I have just the present memories to treat as my last.I must use this moment wisely, for soon it will pass away,And be lost forever as a part of yesterday.I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,Be a friend unto the friendless, make their life complete.The unkind things I do today, may never be undone,And friendships that I fail to win, may never more be won.I may not have another chance on bended knees to pray,And I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day!

The apostle Paul declared that we are to be, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Eph. 5:16), and "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time" (Col. 4:5). Friends, are we taking advantage of this day - the only day we are guaranteed? Remember, "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night" (1 The. 5:2).
