When God Says …
“Boast not thyself of to morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” (Proverbs 27:1 KJV)
Tomorrow is not ours. It is not ours to boast of. We have only today. Now is ours to live life on. And, we have the power to make this moment like God designed it to be, by making the right choices. God reminds us by this passage not look beyond today, lest we lose the opportunity to make this day a day of joy, peace and prosperity. We don't know how today turns out to be, the more so with tomorrow. But, we have the power of free will to let the Lord Jesus have reign in our life by faith in Him. We have His promise and assurance, for-“This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalms 118:24 NLT).
Today is the day of God's favor! Today - now is the time to receive His Lordship by believing in Him and rest in His grace. “For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”(2 Corinthians 6:2 NIV)
Hence, it is very important to receive His salvation now. Lest, tomorrow may not come. In the Book of James, we are given this reaffirming reminder: “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”” (James 4:13-15 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
