Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-18

Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) 27 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Some people can get very frustrated and overwhelmed if they don’t have a plan to work with throughout their day. This type of personality causes these same people to struggle when the unexpected pops up. They get thrown off by unwanted surprises.

There are going to be times when we may not know what is going to take place ahead of time. We are probably thinking right now, “That’s impossible! We have planned for everything that could possibly go wrong. We have planned out our day”.

And then when it hits, it knocks us for a loop. We can become depressed and out of sorts for a while.

We may even become moody and angry toward anyone that comes near us, all because something unexpected happened.

How many of us are hard on ourselves when we get hit with the unexpected? We look at ourselves and how we react to change, and we get frustrated with ourselves and the way we reacted.

It’s time today we forgive ourselves, move on and cut ourselves some slack.

There are a lot of things that will take place that we won’t know about in advance. So, in order for us to live happy and peaceful lives we need to learn to accept the verse above as truth, and understand that stuff happens that we have no control over.

The great news about all of this is that if we are God’s child, through His Son, Jesus Christ, we are well taken care of, even when things do pop up unexpectedly.

Just the other day, something unexpected happened. I did not plan for it and I almost panicked. My nerves started to get the best of me. Then I was quickly reminded that I am not to worry, as God instructs us in His word.

I turned to God and I said, “Father, You knew before this ever happened that it was coming, so I put it in Your hands. I refuse to worry about it, I know you have my answer.” Within a short time, the problem or dilemma was solved. My day continued on as usual.

God will help us. But we have to stop stressing over what hit us. He already knew it was coming and He has a plan. Give it to Him, listen and follow.

Matthew 6:8 (NKJV) 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
