Give Today Your Care
My dear son,
Tell me about the things you hope to do in the days ahead. Enjoy the gladness of looking forward, while remembering that you do not yet know everything tomorrow will bring. There is room for both hope and humility.
You cannot know all of tomorrow, but you can care for what is in your hands today. Make promises you can keep. Give your attention to the people you meet. Even an ordinary day holds things worth cherishing.
If your plans change, you can consider them again. This morning, live the time you have been given without trying to prove what your distant future will be. Entrust your hopes and your unknown tomorrows to me.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 27:1
WEB1Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
A short reflection
The proverb discourages boasting about tomorrow because no one knows what a day will bring, calling for humility toward the future.
