James 4:13-16
Boasting About Tomorrow
13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.
Is tomorrow guaranteed to anyone living today? We often live life like we know tomorrow we will see. Mark 13:31-33 (NIV) says, "31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come.
We don't know what God's time line is for us or the world. Stop living each day as if the next is ours to do whatever with. Live today and everyday you are blessed to take a breath above ground to the fullest for God. Live like tomorrow may never be mine, because it isn't. Carpe diem, seize the day, today. All we have is today. Let it being a testimony to the goodness and mercy and love of God. Amen!
