"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."
Proverbs 27:1
Boasting is probably not a good idea in the first place, but boasting about tomorrow is really getting ahead of ourselves. We can't count on being as cool tomorrow, or at least not in the same way, because a lot of that determination is up to God and not up to us. :)
That doesn't mean that we can't plan. God wants us to be prepared for the future. It's only that we also need to be aware that our plans don't always go as *we* want them to. We need to leave room for God's will.
Today, with our boasting and our preparations, let's plan in a way that allows us to adjust a little more to whatever God has in store, and recognize that it is okay when things don't go our way. If we have faith and hope in God, and work on our plans with him, he will help things happen in a way that comes out much, much better than we could ever have planned alone.
