I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Yesterday I went to a concert at a church here in town. There were many pieces played and sung by artists that go to that church, but one song that was sung had a special meaning to me:

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day,
And I don't borrow from its sunshine
'Cause the skies might turn to grey.
And I don't worry about the future,
'Cause I know what Jesus said,
And today I'm gonna walk right beside Him
'Cause He's the one Who knows what is ahead.

There are things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand,
But I know Who holds tomorrow
And I know Who holds my hand.

And each step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb,
And every burden is getting lighter,
And all the clouds are silver lined.
And over there the sun is always shining
And no tears will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains, they touch the sky.


There are many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand,
But I know Who holds tomorrow
And I know Who holds my hand.

~LeAnn Rimes

I used to have to have my life planned out exactly how it was going to be. I could not stand the thought of not know what tomorrow and the day after, and the month after and my entire life held. Several times I have had those perfectly laid plans completely demolished by God. Lately, I have simply left it up to Him. Yes, I have a general idea of some things in life, but many I don't have a clue about, and that is perfectly fine with me. I'm tired of trying to plan things on my own instead of just letting go and allowing God to take control and do as He pleases. May the Lord be glorified in my life both now and forevermore.
