1. Tomorrow (1-2)

We have only today. So we must live and work as if there were no tomorrow. We must boast only in the Lord and in his cross (Gal 6:14; 1Co 1:31). God holds our tomorrows in his hand.

2. Friends-and enemies (3-17)

Real friends are those who love us in Christ. Such friends are better than our human family. They rebuke us when we need rebuking (6,9); they are ready to help when disaster strikes. Jealousy clouds human relations, and flatterers cannot be trusted (6,7). One should be friends with those of his own household.

3. Stewardship and testing (18-27)

A man should take care of what he has and not be greedy for what he doesn't have (18-20; 23-27). A person is tested by praise and by suffering. If praise makes him proud, he is a fool. He should learn from suffering.

Application: Lord, I trust you for all my tomorrows. Help me to be a good steward of my privileges.
One Word: Finish it today
