Proverbs 27:1 is probably one of my most quoted scriptures. When talking with others it is one that needs to be on every tongue and every heart.

It says, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth."

How many things have you put off to do later?
We keep saying we are going to invite our parents to church but we'll wait til later...
We'll say that one day we will invite our co-workers to church but I will just wait... til later...
My best friend needs to hear about Jesus but this is not a good time...I will wait till later...

But another thought comes to mind.

We go to work each day working harder than ever before to get that promotion that will come one day... later on...

We strive to put up and save for later... when we are retirement age... you know... later.

But let this scripture be a wake up call for us today. Later may never come. Don't put off for tomorrow what you need to do today. Because the scripture plainly states that tomorrow's sunshine may never rise.

Do you need to tell someone you love them today?
Do you need to apologize to someone today?
Do you need to invite someone to church today?
Do you need to share Jesus with someone today?

Prayer: "Lord, please help us heed the warning that this could be our last opportunity to do what you are asking us to do. Help us not to put it off like we have in the past."
