‘We Should Not Be Presumptuous About Time.’
a) Proverbs 27:1. We should not boast of tomorrow because we do not know what is going to happen.
b) Isaiah 56:12; Luke 12:19. Planning and doing frivolous things.
c) Amos 6:3. Pushing away all thoughts about coming problems.
d) Acts 24:25. That we will have another chance to respond to God.
e) James 4:13-14. Making long term plans without consulting God.
(This QT strongly reminds me that I Should Not Be Presumptuous About Time)

‘Evil Spirits Are Obvious.’
1 Samuel 16:15-16.
a) King Saul’s servants knew very well when their master was being troubled by an evil spirit.
b) This evil spirit would torment him.
c) This evil spirit was allowed by God.
d) This evil spirit made trouble for him.
e) These servants knew how to make King Saul well again and send the evil spirit away.
(Through this Second one I know that Evil Spirits Are Obvious and casting them out is not always only a matter of command prayer)

Chris.
We should not boast of tomorrow because we do not know what is going to happen. This is why we simply need to Trust God for tomorrow. He should give us our plans for tomorrow and not we make our own without seeking Him. Only God knows tomorrow – we do not.
