Proverbs 27

Here's my reading this morning for Proverbs 27.

Proverbs 27


1. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.


Verse 1 is poignant today...telling us not to show off or boast about tomorrow and the things that you have; for you never know what will happen next. There was this news that a particular foolish woman exclaimed so loud when she won the lottery that people around her heard it. The next thing that happened was that she was robbed of all her money... most probably from someone who heard her foolish exclamation. The moral of the story is if you have wealth, don't flaunt it and shut up!
