Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Ecclesiastes 2:12-3:15; Luke 6:20-49
Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1, NKJV
Solomon was one of the wisest men that ever lived. The Queen of the south came with hard questions and said of him that the half of his wisdom had not been told. His statement above is challenging for it brings before us the terrible uncertainty of life. Maybe someone reading this has just received bad news. All your plans for the future have been put on hold. You were not expecting this! God’s purposes are often different from ours. We must trust Him fully for He knows the end from the beginning. —Jim Paul
Bad news indeed! But God abideth faithful!
Some fresh unfolding of His power He will show;
Thus, unto Him, whose love is quite unending,
Whose care and power are limitless—we will go. —J. Danson Smith
