Proverb 27:26Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
A: Have you done your assignments ?
B: Emm, haven't finish yet, but don't worry too much about it, things will get done on time, just like any other time.
How often we engage in such conversations?? Even for me, i am indulging in procrastination. And it always based on a fake hope and deception on myself that things will be better when time go by. But, this is not true, our heart never wants to be changed, with motivations, we might change for a while to the one we want ourselves to be, yet when time go by, we just go back to our old self.
Then, what can be done to really change ourselves permanently??
In nature, we are prone to do any other things than what we responsible for. A sinful nature deep rooted in our heart i would use to describe this condition. Since we can't help ourselves, we must get help from other!! But who?? Other people who also have the same problems or maybe other difficulties in their lives? Do you really think they can help you even themselves are not perfect?
Therefore, we ought to seek to the one who is perfect , our God. Through Christ, we can be saved as He paid the ransom to redeem us from our punishment from sins. And through Holy Spirit works in us, we can be changed!! Therefore, don't try to boast ourselves in doing things, but commit to God in prayers for He care for us and only Him can saved us from all misery.
