Scripture: Proverbs 3:27-28
“Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1 (KJV)
No one feels happy when what is due them is intentionally delayed; yet we often find ourselves doing so to others. Postponement or procrastination of any event that will lead to loss for the next person, with no tangible reason is not a character any Christian should exhibit.
Do not indulge in acts that are abominable to God simply because you want to teach certain people a lesson. When you hold back from helping those around you even when it is in your power to do so, you incur the anger of God (Proverbs 3:33). It could be you on the receiving end tomorrow. The less privileged in our communities are not there as a yardstick for us to measure our betterment, rather it is to stir up an acknowledgement of the Lord’s mercy and grace upon our lives.
Settle what can be settled today and do not wait until tomorrow. Someone’s life may depend on your actions. Do not make your inactions a prayer point for someone else. It is through deep rooted loyalty to God and kindness to man, that you can find favour with God and man, and of course, earn a good reputation (Proverbs 3:4).
