Bible Procrastination “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring” (Proverbs 27:1 ESV). When I was learning the Spanish language, I was told a joke.

Many folks spend the entirety of their lives unsuccessfully “searching” for God by whatever means “they” determine, when He is not hiding from any of us. Quite the contrary, “The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth” (Psalm 145:18; cf. Deuteronomy 4:29).
