Someday is the land of illusions and broken dreams!   Recently, I was drawn into a political conversation with a group of people locally.  One of the individuals was ranting about how destructive the Obama and Biden administrations were for this country.   The discussion included how they had trashed the Constitution, weaponized government, and ignored the rule of law.

One of the people waxed eloquent for about five minutes and then said something that stuck profoundly.  It has traversed the corridors of my mind for days.  He said, “SOMEDAY those who love America and our Constitutional Freedom will wake up, and we will retake both Houses of Congress, the White House, and gain a couple of appointments to the Supreme Court and will once again see the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America again. 

That resonated with me and caused me to think about Someday!   I opened my mouth to respond but could only manage, “I hope so!”  I excused myself and headed for another appointment but thought about what he had said throughout the day – SOMEDAY!

Alan Jackson sings a country song entitled “Someday.”   It is a story about a man pleading with his wife not to leave him.  He promises to do anything to fix the problem and that someday, he’ll get his life straight.   

She responded that it was too late.  She declared that she could no longer wait because sometimes, someday, it never comes.   She said that all she ever wanted to do was love him.  Somewhere deep inside, she still did, but it was time she stopped believing because she realized she was never going to see a change in him and to his repeated plea that SOMEDAY he’d get his life straight, she said, “I can’t wait, ‘Cause sometimes someday just never comes.”   That fits where we are today on so many fronts.

SOMEDAY is an illusional land filled with shattered dreams and broken promises.  It is a land that signifies a lack of priority and commitment.  It is a land that postpones until a fictional future time the resolution of the problem and presents a false hope and promise that can never be kept.  Too many live there, and the results are seldom good!

SPIRITUALLY:

I’ve had people tell me that “Someday,” I am going to turn my life around and live for God wholeheartedly.  I have a standard response to that statement: “SOMEDAY suggests that as of this moment, it is not important enough for you to take action and therefore affords you an excuse to continue in your way of living that by your own confession is “missing the mark.” 

It suggests that God is not important enough for you to address the real issues in your life and that you love the pleasures of sin more than you desire a “relationship with God.”   I have found that nobody can “get their life straight” on their own.  Only as we come to God in repentance and turn our hearts over to Him, allowing His will to become our will, our lives turn from darkness to God’s marvelous light. 

SOMEDAY, spirituality just never seems to come!   So, if you are saying “Someday” to God, the sad reality is that you will likely come to the end of your days and find that you are still saying SOMEDAY, and it will be TOO LATE!

RELATIONALLY:

I’ve had people tell me that “Someday,” they were going to get their relationship straightened out, and my answer is almost exactly the same.  “Until you determine that the relationship is a top priority to you and you are willing to address the root causes of the problem, modify your behavior, learn to communicate and listen, and make the other person’s wholeness, happiness, and fulfillment a top priority in your life SOMEDAYwill never come, and you will go from broken relationship to broken relationship and wonder why you can’t find a good man or woman.”  

The SOMEDAY Syndrome is your problem, not the other person.  They may and likely do have problems, but the ball is in your court to turn SOMEDAY into TODAY.

ECONOMICALLY:

I’ve had people tell me that “Someday,” when they get a few more bills paid, get another promotion, etc., they are going to work on their retirement plans and their family’s financial security.  Yet it seems that something always crops up to prevent that person from taking any positive proactive action to secure a future financially for their family and themselves. 

SOMEDAY suggests that they are living in an illusional world in which things magically take care of themselves.  They believe that they have an endless amount of time to get things done.   Most of them find that they come to retirement years unprepared and live in regret.   Frequently, they are relegated to dependence on other people or the government to survive.   

They could have done something, even if it were something small, to help, and the small, over time, become much more significant than you dream.   I have given demonstrations to the twenty-something crowd about their retirement plans.  I have carefully detailed and shown them how, over the next 20-25 years, their meager funds deposited would grow exponentially.   I was elated when the light came on for some of them, and they turned SOMEDAY into TODAY and acted.

POLITICALLY:

We are in a crisis in America and have seen our nation systematically dismantled from within.   It has not been an outside enemy that has destroyed, usurped our Constitution, or stripped us of our freedoms and liberties.  It is the US!  I say “US” because our government is doing it, and that government is elected by us, so the buck stops with US! 

I hear people like the aforementioned individual saying, “SOMEDAY,” and I cringe, wondering how we can afford to wait for a day that will likely never come. 

• How can we live in an illusion and settle for broken dreams and broken promises? 
• How can we resign ourselves to SOMEDAY when action is demanded TODAY?  

If not now, when?  I do not have all the answers and sometimes wonder if I have any at all except intercessory prayer. 

• I know how futile it seems to continually contact elected representatives and have them virtually ignore your resistance and objections.  
• I know how futile it is to see those who are supposed to love liberty and freedom abdicate their responsibilities and demonstrate an unwillingness to Stand Firm against the onslaught of Tyranny (soft or hard) in our land.  
• I know how frustrating it is to see rampant Voter Fraud and have a Justice Department that not only turns its head the other way but actually seems to encourage it. 
• I know how frustrating it is to hear the President of the United States of America belittle this nation and drive wedges like almost no President before between races and classes of people, as well as the two major political parties. 
• I know the frustration, but we do not have SOMEDAY.  We only have TODAY! 

Therefore, I call on each one to pray more fervently than ever and work harder than ever.  Some of you or we will have to enter the political arena and run for office.   It is time to return to God and make Him the centerpiece of our lives. The time Is NOW for Action, not SOMEDAY!   Someday may never come!

May God bless you, and may God bless America!
