Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
Proverbs 27:1 NIV
Boasting About Tomorrow
13 Now listen,(Z) you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”(AA) 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.(AB) 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will,(AC) we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.(AD) 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
James 4 NIV
in the song, "One day at a Time", it says: yesterday is gone, sweet Jesus. And tomorrow, it may never be mine. Please Lord for my sake, help me to take one day at a time. This is sage advice, especially in this day and age. People plan things days, weeks, and years out, with the expectancy that they should and will be here to execute said plan. This touches on the general ignorance to the frailty of life. No second, let alone day, is guaranteed to anyone! Live for and praise God in every waking moment. Love on those closest to you every chance you get, as we don't know when it will be our last affectionate moment. Amen!
