“This is my life now. I earned it.” 😬
Young Joe sits across the diner from his older self and talks like the future is already his. He's planned it, he's paid for it, and he's sure nobody can take it. Within minutes, everything he was counting on starts coming apart.
Scripture warns us about that exact confidence: “Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1, NKJV). Planning isn't the problem. Acting like tomorrow belongs to us is. Not one of us holds the next day in our hands.
Make your plans with an open hand, and hold on to the One who actually holds tomorrow.
