Three Things God Says Don't About Tomorrow

“Do not boast thyself tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth”

Proverbs 27:1

There are three things God said don’t  about what tomorrow brings.  The Bible says that we do not boast of tomorrow,  do not worry about tomorrow and do not procrastinate until tomorrow.

I – DO NOT BOAST ABOUT TOMORROW – This means that we are not in control of the future.  Our life is controlled by God.  No amount of money, influence, power, and planning can guarantee tomorrow.  Only God can grant us another sunrise.  James 4:15 says “if the Lord will, we shall live.” We are not to put  our hope in the future but to God who holds our tomorrow.  

II- DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW– Matthew 6:34 tells us to “take therefore no thought  for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.”  This means that we will only do what is for today because we will encounter problems when we think of tomorrow and yesterday.  We will fail to properly do our God-given responsibility  if we worry about many things.  Take note that in the last verse of Matthew 6:34, it stated that “ sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”  This means each day has enough trouble of its own.  When we worry tomorrow, we’re just borrowing trouble and it will make us irritable.

III- DO NOT PROCRASTINATE UNTIL TOMORROW – Procrastination is the act of putting something  off until  later time.  This means that we must do what we can do for today!  We must value time! William Shakespeare strongly said “defer no time! Delays have dangerous ends!” We must value time and number our days  correctly by serving Him because there is no wasted time in serving God. commands us to prioritize Him first to love Him first. Each day is a gift from God. Luke 9:62-62 reminds us that “no man is fit for the kingdom of God if he ploughs and look back at the others.”  Remember that God rewards diligence not laziness.
