God's Omniscience

           We often try to figure out what people's license mean or the cute expressions that use a combination of numbers and letters to form a statement.  It becomes a past time at the traffic light to try to figure out what they are trying to say.  When we came out of church recently, we noticed that the car next to us had Prov 27:1 as the license plate.  It's probably not the most well known verses to use on a license plate and we mentioned the verse to the owner of the car who then quoted it to us.    Proverbs 27:1 says, "Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."  
       The meaning of this verse isn't going to jump out at you as does John 3:16 or Philippians 4:8.  The Biblical statement however is just as true as any other statement from the Scriptures.  The Book of Proverbs describes many facets of the relationship of one person to another.  It is a contrast to the Book of Psalms which describes more our relationship between man and God.  While one Book speaks on a vertical level, the other one speaks on a horizontal level.  The statement of Proverbs 27:1 certainly is a reminder of the frailty of life and how one day can change your situation in a moment.  We often go about in life making all kinds of plans, some far and some near.  You might have work projects scheduled around your property or you may have things that are on your schedule the next day.  In a couple of hours, I have an appointment in the medical establishment for some blood work that needs to be done.  God however, can change that and He, and He only knows what and when things are going to take place.  I have always felt that it is good to plan and not to just have no goals in your life but at the same time it is far better to realize that God can and often does change things in a moment.   So, what's on your agenda today?  You might accomplish your goals for today or God may take you on a different route.  Either way, it is always exciting to watch God work in your life and to see at the end of the day, what God has brought forth.  Praise God today for His guidance in all of our lives.
