Proverbs 27:1 says, "Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Here we are being given wisdom from God. Don't boast about tomorrow etc. What does that mean? Boast is also translated, foolish, and can mean to make into a fool.
The simple reason that we ought not to boast about what may happen tomorrow, is that we don't know. No one knows that will happen even a second from now.
Much is said about this same issue in the NT, in James 4:13-17, but to summarize here, what we ought to say is, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that".
In other words, it's normal and needful to make our plans, and to even have our desires about tomorrow, but it's God's way for us to always remember, that He is in control, He is guiding, He has plans for us for the next day, He is leading our lives. So, to live with the Lord's will in mind is how consider what will happen tomorrow.
Father, we love You, and we thank You that we find comfort in knowing that You are in control of our lives, and You have a plan for tomorrow, and for the rest of this day, and for the rest of our lives. Help us to live with You as the priority in our lives. Putting You first in all that we do. In Jesus name,

P.S Here are 6 Applicational thoughts.
God is also working all things that happen today and tomorrow for our good.
God's plan and ways are much better then anything we can come up with.
God's ways and plans may not be easy for us to accept, but He will help us along.
God knows what is best for us.
God has the power to bring about His will in our lives today and tomorrow.
Trusting the Lord is the way to go. He promises to direct our paths.
