Proverbs 27:1 "Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth."

Thoughts on today's verse:

James addresses this same thought in James 4:13-15 - "13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

This helps us to put our lives in the right perspective. Just when we think that things are under our control, the unexpected happens. We never plan for the accidents that beset us, for the sudden job losses, for sickness, for the tragic deaths, nor for the blessings that sometimes come. The point is, that even though we do not have control over those things and really have no knowledge of them, there is one who has seen the beginning from the end, who actually does know what tomorrow holds, and that one is God. We are to live according to that knowledge. Rejoice in His sovereignty over time. Live in the reality that we are not the master of our own destiny, and embrace the fact that we rely on the goodness of God moment by moment, and day by day!
