God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you don’t know what tomorrow may bring. Proverbs 27:1 (ESV)
King Solomon gives us sage advice in these 13 words. This bears repeating: He gives us sage advice here.
When we plan our days, we should consider that God could take our lives in a different direction. He may have completely different plans for us.
A friend of mine has a major change of any plans she may have had when her daughter was taken to the hospital on Christmas night. The daughter was transferred to another hospital and then to another one. The daughter had major surgery and spent most of a month in the trauma hospital. My friend came home for a few days and caught a cold. She could not go down to see her daughter because of her symptoms.
I know this friend had to change any plans she had in mind for this month. She also had to change her plans for early December when that daughter had been admitted to a hospital and transferred to another facility. That daughter is on a waiting list for a donated organ. This waiting process could take at least six months. We are all still praying for her and her family.
God hears our plans. Sometimes, He has different things in mind for us. We must remember that He controls all things, even those plans for a vacation, for a shopping trip, a time out with friends, and even how we spend our free time.
