Resisting Boastfulness - Proverbs 27: 1
So foolish a thing it is
to look past what is today
for tomorrow can't be known
no matter what one may say
Better not to consider this
for all boasting is vain
learn much from proverbs wisdom
such treasures learn to attain
Indeed what tomorrow will bring
today we indeed cannot know
better to leave it to God alone
who controls all things here below
So learn to trust in the almighty
in all things large and small
for He alone created everything
even tomorrow's events whatever will befall
AUTHOR NOTES: 'Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring'. Proverbs 27:1 NRSVA
