A Different View

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1). One truth we seem to forget daily is that God has a purpose for this world. In case you missed it, this world includes us. With that thought in the back of our minds, we go on about business, boasting about future events or our accomplishments in the past.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t celebrate achievement or plan for the future. I think God looks favorably upon both those things. Yet, I do think we should plan for the future with a degree of humility and submissiveness. Further, shouldn’t we look back on the past with thanksgiving and gratitude? Today, how will you place trust in God when it comes to the future? What should you hand over to Him?
