Neither BOAST nor WORRY...!!



Let’s read Proverbs 27:1 and Matthew 6:34 in tandem.

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring”.
“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”.

BOASTING - A boastful attitude (pride) is not a Godly attitude. This attitude was the very root cause for Satan’s fall (Isaiah 14:12-15). Pride goes before destruction (Prov 16:18). “Boasting about tomorrow” is nothing but taking pride in “anything/anyone other than God” we have today (now) and seeing our “tomorrow” bright and prosperous ONLY BECAUSE of THEM.  Whenever you BOAST, you disobey God’s Word.

WORRYING – One of the Dictionary definitions of “Worry” is “Give-way to anxiety or unease”. Our Spiritual-Road-Code (The Bible) says we are never to “Give-way” to anxiety in our lives (read Philippians 4:6). Whenever you WORRY, you disobey God’s Word.

God is the same YESTERDAY, TODAY and FOREVER. TODAY is no better than YESTERDAY, and TOMORROW will be no better than TODAY, because our JOY is not “time-dependent” or “fate-dependent” or “day-dependent”; it is dependent on the GOD who is unchanging from the alpha (beginning) to the omega (end).

This is the day (this moment) that the Lord has made so REJOICE and be GLAD..(Psalm 118:24). 

Rain or Shine, Pleasure or Pain – Consider it all JOY, because our ALMIGHTY, SOVEREIGN, UNCHANGING God is IN CONTROL.....!!!
