Thoughts on Proverbs 27:1

 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Have you every planed a vacation only to have something come up that caused the vacation to be canceled or placed on hold? Or have you expected a job promotion or raise only to hear that the plant is closing? Maybe you gotten married and planned a long life together, but now one of you are facing a disease that causes the future to be in question?

I believe what this verse is getting at is that we must not always think that everyday will be filled with blessings of joy, happiness, and peace. As Christians, I believe at times, we get so focused on God's blessings, we forget about the challenges this mortal life brings to test our faith.

Yes I believe that you should make plans for the future. But trust in the Lord always for He holds you real future even when life throws you a curve ball.
