“Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” (Prov. 27:1)
Josh Gardner left home one morning like he did every other day, not knowing that he was about to have the strangest day of his life. In a million years he never would have guessed that on this day he would have a very close encounter with a UFO!
As he was driving down Hwy 501 in Conway, South Carolina, all of the sudden, from out of nowhere, came a dark sphere straight at him. Before he could react, this “Unidentified Flying Object” flew like a missile into his windshield! Because of its size and speed with which it hit him, it was a miracle he wasn’t killed.
Once he was able to stop his car and investigate, what he saw next made him really scratch his head. For laying right there in his car, he realized that this UFO that flew into him was…a turtle! Evidently, a truck traveling in front of him had run over this turtle and its tire had somehow flung the turtle into Josh’s windshield.
Our verse reminds us that none of us really know “what a day may bring forth.” The truth is, you have no clue what circumstance may befall you today. So, it pays to stay prayed up and right with God so that no matter what you face (even a UFT – “Unidentified Flying Turtle”), you can face it knowing God is in control.
