Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV)
Today’s guiding scripture contains a sobering reminder of life’s volatility. We frequently find ourselves daydreaming about the future and making plans for the future. Aspirations are good, but the Bible also exhorts us to be humble and self-aware. Though we can prepare ahead, we have no control over the future; hence, we should enjoy the present.
Do Not Boast About Tomorrow
There is a likelihood of losing sight of the present moment in the bustle of our everyday lives. We could occupy our time with anxieties about the future or yearning for things we do not yet own. In actuality, though, today is a gift from God, full of chances to grow, love, and serve.
Every morning, set aside some time to focus on the here and now. What actions can you take today to further God’s plan for your life? Consider the ways in which you might bless people in your vicinity. Practice writing down things you are grateful for. This will facilitate a shift in attention from worrying about the future to enjoying the present moment.
Why You Should Enjoy the Present
Give God your plans for tomorrow, then spend some time in prayer. Recognize that while preparation is vital, your confidence is in God’s direction and supply. Keep in mind that God is in charge of the future as you go about your day. With enthusiasm, accept the present, understanding that every second offers a chance to encounter His love and grace. Enjoy the present.
Prayer
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the gift of today. Please help me to acknowledge Your presence in my life and to live in the now.
