GREAT LEADERS KNOW TODAY'S THE DAY!

Team:

Do you ever worry about tomorrow and what may happen in the future?

All of us have worried at some time in our life. The opposite of worry is boasting. Another word for boasting is bragging.

In the Playbook James and Solomon tell us not to boast about tomorrow because we don't know what is going to happen.

GREAT LEADERS KNOW TODAY'S THE DAY!

"Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring." Proverbs 27:1

In Daniel 5 Belshazzar starts boasting about tomorrow. He was the King of Babylon. Babylon ruled the world at this time.

Belshazzar was so arrogant that he had the butler get the golden wine glasses from Solomon's Temple. Then he drank out of the golen wine glasses. He was basically saying, "I am mightier than the God of Israel!"

That night the Babylonian Empire was taken over by the Medo-Persian Empire.

Friends, we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow.

"This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24

GREAT LEADERS KNOW TODAY'S THE DAY!

Today is the day to make an Impact. Everyday God wants us to make a difference.

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Just Go!
