Boast Not Thyself of To-morrow
"BOAST not thyself of to-morrow." To-morrow never comes. The present, to-day, only is yours. You might as well think of improving the past as the future. They are both alike beyond your reach. Duty is always present. God's time is now—and you should make it your time. To defer a present duty to a future time, is simply to refuse to perform it. You may console yourself with the thought that you will have another opportunity to discharge it, but that is mere presumption—you have no assurance that such will be the case. It may possibly be so, but then it may not. You should not run the risk of delay. You should not be unfaithful now on the presumption that you will be more faithful hereafter. The "more convenient season" will never come. Work while it is day. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Be instant in season and out of season, abounding in the work of the Lord.—Methodist Recorder.
