Shade Tree Wisdom 11/7/15
Often
people worry about the future. What will happen? What do I get ready for? And
such questions worry folks. Quite a bit.
This
verse from Proverbs speaks about that.
“Do not
boast
About tomorrow,
For you
do not know
What a
day may bring.
Proverbs
27,1
I
guess we all worry, some more, some less, but it does bother us, maybe quite a
bit.
Well, St. James has quite a bit to say in his
letter.
“Come now, you who say,
Today or tomorrow
We will go I into such
A town and spend a
Year there. . .yet
You do not know
What tomorrow will bring. . .
Instead, you ought to say,
If the Lord will,
We will live
And do this and that.”
James 4,12.
That places our worries just where they ought to be, at the
foot of our God, who has promised to care for us even to eternity.
In brief, if we do believe
in God our motto can be, “Don’t worry”
GPD 11/7/15
