Boasting of the future

"One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off."
Ahab, in 1 Kings 20: 11

Ahab certainly isn't the Old Testament king with the cleanest record or the most upright life, but he got at least one thing right. No matter how certain we are of the odds, we must wait until the battle is finished before we claim the glory of the results. Let us be patient and humble, preparing ourselves for what is ahead rather than claiming to know it already.
