“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1
If you are reading this, then it applies to you! God has given you lungs to breathe and a heart to pump blood…for today. That’s it! And even then, you have no guarantee of anything past reading this. You can still plan; that is what a Wise man does! You can still have goals; Proverbs assumes that. But in light of today’s verse, “Do Not Boast” about these things, “for you do not know what a day may bring forth”.
And so the Question is; if this is true (which it is!), then how should we live? Solomon also wrote, “The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Let us seek God, with humble and dependent hearts, realizing that it is His Will we are after and be willing to submit to it!
“Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
