me myself and God

Tomorrow, shamorrow.

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” Proverbs 27:1

Time and time again, I’ve made plans: made plans to go to Honduras, made plans to get a job at a previous internship, made plans to start working for a marketing company, made plans to adopt a dog and move out. And time and time again, my plans have been foiled.

(Foiled! What does that word even mean?! Defeated, disappointed, discomfited, frustrated, thwarted.) 

See, the thing I don’t forget, but also do put into action is that God has a plan. Although I have a plan too, which plan do you think is most likely to come to fruition?

(Fruition: state of bearing fruit.)

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord…” Jeremiah 29:11 You probably know the rest. He is GOD. He has the ultimate plan, which I’m sorry, but it’s gonna top yours any day. 

So even if you don’t believe in God, He believes in you. (Not the first one to say that.)

I believe what He says is true, so I am going to listen to the words He gave. I’m not going to boast about tomorrow, I don’t know what a day may bring.
