Same Song, Second Verse

Prof. Skip Moen, D.Phil.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.  Proverbs 27:1  But now you boast in your presumptions.  All such boasting is evil.  James 4:16

Boast – Open your day planner.  Look at the top of the page for tomorrow.  Do you see God’s fingerprint there?  If you don’t, then perhaps this word is for you.  Both Solomon and James are singing the same song.  It’s a song about presumptuous self-sufficiency.  What’s interesting is that whether the word in Hebrew or in Greek is something good or bad depends on the context.  Only the surrounding attitudes and actions can tell us if the day planner is filled with humility or with pride.
