In 1963, Paul McCartney was living with Jane Asher, his girlfriend at the time, at her family’s home in London. One night, he had a dream of the good times of his youth. When he woke up the next morning, he sat at the piano at the foot of his bed and composed one of his most famous songs, Yesterday.
You may remember this famous line: “Yesterday! All my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday.”
Yesterdays always seem better. We remember fondly our first house, first car, and first date. We all believe in yesterday.
But God believes in tomorrow. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Recovery Step: Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is coming. Today, get ready.
