“Put off until tomorrow what you could
do today.” This, in a phrase, describes so
many people in the world. Yes, it is possi
ble to get along by putting off until to
morrow what could have been done today.
But—will it be as effective tomorrow as
it would have been today? Will the re
sults be as pleasing, as satisfying, or as
important? Then again, we might wait
for tomorrow and find that TOMORROW
NEVER COMES. Then what? Will some
one else carry on where we left off? Will
someone else be able to do what God had
intended we should do? Naturally we
can assume that if a task is important
enough for God to be concerned with it,
then surely He will not allow it to remain
unfinished. Surely He will provide some
one else with the time, the ambition, and
wisdom to do it. But does He? Will He?
I am sure I do not know the answers, but
we can always wait until tomorrow to see.
Yes, that is one way to find out—wait
until tomorrow and see. “But,” you say,
“tomorrow may never come.” Well, that
is all right. After all, we cannot know

should have been done yesterday and was
left undone. You see, today is yesterday’s
tomorrow. It is here now, and will soon
be gone. While it is here, we can see
