Can we wait 'til tomorrow?

In the Broadway musical "Annie" the little redheaded heroine sings a song in which she exclaims, "Tomorrow, you'e only a day away." Tomorrow, to her is the day when everything will be OK. The sun will come up, the flowers will bloom, and she will be an orphan no longer.

Today, the church sings the same song. Tomorrow, everything will change. Tomorrow the world will suddenly recognize the good that we do and Tomorrow, we will no longer be on the outsidel looking in.

But Tomorrow is never going to come, at least not on its own. For when we wake up in the morning it is "Today" and tomorrow is still a day away. It will not come if we simply wait for it to come. We must become pro-active, stepping out into a world that ignores us and make our voices and our actions heard. Our ministries must be visible and vibrant. Our evangelism must be effective and timely, or there never will be a tomorrow.

Can you and I afford to wait for tomorrow, or should we step out and shape it ourselves?

What do you thinik?
