“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” — Proverbs 27:1
“Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.” — Deuteronomy 1:26
“You have circled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.” — Deuteronomy 2:3
________________________________________
Have you ever put something off because you thought you’d have time “later”? Maybe it was saying sorry to someone, trying out for something, or just doing what you knew God wanted you to do. We’ve all been there.
The Israelites in Deuteronomy 1 were right at the edge of the Promised Land—so close to something amazing God had planned—but fear and doubt made them hesitate. And that hesitation turned into rebellion. Instead of walking into God’s promise, they walked in circles for 40 years.
Proverbs 27:1 reminds us we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. That doesn’t mean we should panic—but it does mean we shouldn’t waste today.

THINK ABOUT IT
1. Today > Someday: What’s something you feel God nudging you to do that you’ve been putting off for “later”?
2. Fear Isn’t the Boss: Like the Israelites, do you ever let fear talk you out of trusting God? What could happen if you chose faith instead?
3. Time to Move: Deuteronomy 2:3 is like God saying, “Enough waiting—let’s go.” Is there an area in your life where God might be saying it’s time to stop going in circles?

BOTTOM LINE
You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment—God is ready to move now. Trust Him and take the next step today.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that today is a gift. Help me not to waste it by putting things off or letting fear lead the way. Show me where I need to trust You and take that next step, even if it feels scary. I don’t want to wander—I want to walk in Your promises. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
