Tomorrow
Richard Bradley
James 4:13-17
Like many words, the word “tomorrow” can be both terrifying and comforting. If we’re looking for something really bad to happen to tomorrow then it’s terrifying. If we’re anticipating the prospect of a really good day tomorrow then it’s comforting. In this passage James addressed a generation of believers that had failed to give God enough credit for His participation is all of their “tomorrows.” No believer will ever cross over from today to tomorrow without finding that God is already there.
If that’s not a comforting thought I’m not sure what will be. We believers can and often do make a couple of common mistakes concerning tomorrow. Some of us will have too much fear concerning what tomorrow might bring. Some of us will not have enough respect for God’s participation in our tomorrows.
Your heavenly Father wants to be Lord of all your tomorrows!

All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. NKJV
Look at what James said about tomorrow:
TOMORROW IS A DAY OF HUMILITY
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
James wrote that when we think about tomorrow it’s not a time to boast about what we will or will not do. We had a saying when I was a kid, “Talk when the game is over.” This means that you shouldn’t boast that your team is going to bea ...
