⛶The Word for Thursday, 5 November 2026

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Proverbs 27:1

You ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.

James 4:15

Proverbs 27

1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
a stranger, and not your own lips.

James 4

14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
