Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Fools plan on getting right with God tomorrow, but that day never comes. There are always more excuses. Felix, trembling under Paul’s preaching, told him, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee” (Acts 24:25). It never came. You have today to be godly and wise – do not presume on having any other day. Children and youth foolishly and impatiently presume on many tomorrows, for they crave imagined future pleasures rather than appreciate today. Those of middle age expect to reach old age. The old confidently believe they will outlive neighbors. Such delusions about the future are madness. The minutes reading this proverb could be your last! Jesus told about a rich and successful man that confidently planned for many years to come, but he died that very night (Luke 12:16-21). God called him a fool for such arrogance and presumption. And you are no wiser, if you do not use today to please God. One of the best ways to live is to consider today your last day in spiritual things. If you knew you would die tonight and immediately face Almighty God, how would you live today? Unnecessary variations from that perspective prove you are boasting of tomorrow! Will the Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed and only Potentate, find you waiting for His surprise visit at the hour of your death or His sudden coming? You could die today. He is returning soon. Heaven and hell are of grave importance. Will you live today accordingly? Or will you make the fatal mistake of planning tomorrow and dying today?
