Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 844 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Tomorrow – Meditation Monday

Thank you for joining us for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 844 of our trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy.

For some, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. Some may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and praying. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and make sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you too will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind. 

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. This past weekend we had the privilege of attending the show Annie: The Musical, in which our granddaughter Aurora, who is six, played one of the orphans in the orphanage where Annie was also an orphan. The performance was amazingly good and was presented to a sold-out crowd at “The People’s Bank Theater.”

Of course, we are very proud of the great job that Aurora did. As I reflect on the performance, my mind keeps going back to one of the theme songs in Annie, which is called “Tomorrow.” The message is clear that regardless of how difficult some days may be, there is always hope in our tomorrows. In today’s meditation, let us explore…

Tomorrow

All of us have difficult days and even difficult seasons of life. Sometimes it seems like those seasons will never end. This is not the case, though. Just as night always turns to day and winter always turns to spring, so our difficult and dark todays will always turn into our better and brighter tomorrows.

Since I have the opportunity to travel by plane a lot, one thing that I know will always happen is that the sun will always be shining bright above the darkest of clouds. Think about your tomorrows as I read the lyrics to the song.

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar

That tomorrow

There'll be sun…

 

Just thinkin' about

Tomorrow

Clears away the cobwebs,

And the sorrow

'Til there's none…

 

When I'm stuck a with day

That's gray,

And lonely,

I just stick out my chin

And Grin,

And say…

Oh

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow

Come what may…

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya, tomorrow

You're always

A day

Away…

 

When I'm stuck a with day

That's gray,

And lonely,

I just stick out my chin

And grin,

And say…

Oh

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow

Come what may…

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya, tomorrow

You're always

A day

Away…

 

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya, tomorrow

You're always

A day

Away

When our days are difficult, we also have a loving God that we can turn to. Yes, the pain and darkness of today may be severe, but the hope of tomorrow will shine ever brighter. Meditate today on Lamentations 3:19-24.

The thought of my suffering and homelessness

is bitter beyond words.

I will never forget this awful time,

as I grieve over my loss.

Yet I still dare to hope

when I remember this:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!

His mercies never cease.
