We Don't Know What Tomorrow Holds

After hearing of the news of a very untimely death, just this morning, my mind rushes to Scripture as it reminds us that we simply do not know what today, let alone tomorrow holds. How can I stress hard and long enough that we must be ready to meet our Maker every single day. If we think Covid-19 is the worst of our fears we are stupid and ignorant. Are we ready to meet our final Judge and the ONLY way to Heaven?

James 4:13-17 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. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
