Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. — Proverbs 27:1

Don’t you already have a lot to do today? When you worry about the problems of tomorrow, don’t you find it hard to focus on what’s important and urgent right now? Don’t you sometimes miss a chance today because you’re thinking about all the things that could happen in the future? Don’t you think it’s a waste of time to worry about things you can’t change? So why worry so much about tomorrow, next week, and…? Let’s walk with God today and have faith that he will be there for us tomorrow.

Prayer

Holy God, give me the strength to seize the day and live in a way that will please you and bless others. Help my heart feel how important today is and act with courage, kindness, and salvation instead of worrying so much about what might happen tomorrow or next week. Give me the immediacy I see in your son’s ministry when he walked the earth. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
