“Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1).

It was just a typical hospital call. The man I was to visit was scheduled to be discharged the next day. I didn’t know him. It turned out that as he was being admitted when it came time to list a church, he listed the one I pastored. After meeting the man and introducing myself, I asked a little about him and his situation. The man was very open to me and it was a pleasant visit. The opportunity for presenting the gospel however didn’t seem to be coming around very easily. It was growing time to leave but I felt impressed to share the gospel with him, which I did. At the end of the gospel presentation he began to cry and said, “I’ve been waiting for something like this. I didn’t know what it was. But I knew there was something missing. Something big is missing in my life and now I know what it is.” That day he asked the Lord to be his Savior. Tomorrow? Instead of being discharged he suddenly died. I never got over the fact that I almost waited until the next visit to share Christ with him. What a good reminder for us all in that we must never boast ourselves of tomorrow. We don’t know what a day will bring forth. Can you imagine the thrill of that man? Today he trusts Christ as his Savior. Tomorrow He meets the Lord Jesus in Heaven! Wow!

For today: Is there someone that you know who needs to hear about the Lord Jesus? Make it a wonderful day as you walk with the Lord. Karen and I love you and appreciate you so much.
