Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for you know not what a day may bring forth.
When interest rates hovered near zero in the United States, many homeowners seized the opportunity to refinance, and many others saw wisdom in buying a first, or second home, while the Feds kept interest rates abnormally low. But there were others who procrastinated, thinking that the low rates would be here to stay and so they dilly dallied, and twiddled their thumbs, by putting off for some future day that which could and should have been done while the opportunity still lingered.
And now, many folks look back at those times with longing desire, and some are drooling for the days of yore to return. They may, or may not return, for no one knows what tomorrow will bring. And thus, you might have a situation of here today, but gone tomorrow, that occurs. Therefore, when God opens up the way before us so that great things could be done, or achieved, it is of critical importance that we be ready, when The Lord is ready, for very often, a mismatch of timing causes persons to defer for another day, that which can and should be accomplished in the moment.
In Eden, God gave us a golden opportunity to live in this world forever, without experiencing death, and all of the negatives we have accrued over the years. But the opportunity was squandered in the moment and even though Christ has died to redeem all from sin, and its consequences, the fact is that damage has already been done.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
