Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
It's easy to make plans and then become quite pleased with those plans. Talking about finding an apartment or starting a job. Whatever it is, one always has to remember that tomorrow could bring the unexpected.
For example I just bought a nyused car. (New + Used = Nyused) Anyway, I could spend my time feeling quite proud of my little car only to have it be totaled tomorrow. Or I can spend my time thankful for the financial security that enabled me to make this purchase, and if it gets totaled tomorrow, I'm thankful for my insurance.
We love to make plans and be proud of what we are going to do. At the end of the day though, we haven't really done anything. We are really the agents of anything much. Except maybe trouble and disaster. Troubles will come. Things will go wrong. Someday something terrible will happen. You can't boast in what you have planned because it may never happen. Only a fool would talk about the future as certain.
A fool takes the future for granted, but a wise man is thankful for each moment.
I should write a book of proverbs:P it's funny because I shouldn't.
Lord, let my plans for tomorrow never interfere with my vision of You. Let me never see more of my life plan than I do of You. Especially now Lord as I make big decisions, let me not choose based on future glory, but rather on Your will. Let me not plan ahead thinking I know what's best, but let me trust in You knowing You know what's best. I will not worry, boast, or live about tomorrow. Rather I will take each day and praise the Lord for my portion.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
