“Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will
bring.” - Proverbs 27:1 New Living
Translation
I’m
sure you realize that you don’t have any control over your own future. You
really don’t have a whole lot of control regarding anything in life, if the
truth be known. Yet there are some folks who think they have life all figured
out and are in complete control of everything. The Bible calls these folks
‘fools’. Why fools? Because they haven’t accounted for the completely supreme,
sovereign will of God.
“No human
wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.” (Proverbs 21:30) There are many things that we know. It’s called acquired
knowledge. But in spite of all our knowledge we have no idea what will take
place tomorrow. We don’t even know if we will wake up tomorrow morning. No
matter what we may think, there's nothing this side of heaven that can alter or
thwart the perfect will of God.
God’s will is corporate
AND individual. His corporate will is, in part, that all would come to the
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We are the conduits he has chosen to use to
accomplish that portion of his will. His individual will is diverse, fitted for
each believer based on his or her skills and gifts. Don’t bother trying to
figure out what the future holds. It cannot be known. Fixate on being more like
Christ in each facet of your life. Until
next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
