神造人与动物不一样。人生命的本质是存留到永恒，动物生命的本质是为了肉身的存活。因此，人与动物其中一个最大的不一样就是人对时间有意识。人会为明天设想、安排、甚至是还活着时也会为后事设想。但是动物是只有为了存活。一个狮子捕捉猎物是因为现在肚子饿，不是因为想到明天或下一个月会有粮食欠缺。蚂蚁殷勤储存食物不是因为它懂得为明天或明年设想，乃是它是一个被造为殷勤累积食物的生物。它这么做是因它的本能，不是因为它有时间观念，懂得为明天设想。在所有的被造物当中，只有人是对时间有意识。人不会现在吃饱而喜乐满足。人会想到明天而感到担心，或是想到死亡而迷茫。因此，神赐给人永生，也告诉人不要为明天忧虑，因为神都为我们的明天作出安排了。甚至当神的子民以色列被掳掠的时候，神告诉他们说：“我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。”《耶29:11》。因为神知道人对明天与末后有意识，也知道人会因为今天的痛苦而对明天失去盼望，以致心灵被折磨。因此，神不但要应许人今天的同在，也要应许明天与末后的祝福，人才能活在完整的平安与喜乐中。但是我们一定要明白的一件事就是当人对时间有意识，他同时在神面前对他怎么安排明天也有责任。确实，我们向神的道德责任是与我们怎么为我们的明天设想与安排有关系的。一个人在神面前是一个骄傲或谦卑的人就在于他现在怎么为明天打算。如果我们想到明天，我们心里很迷茫，试问那是为什么呢？是不是因为看自己现在的学历不好，所以担心将来不能找到好的工作呢？或是看目前的事业没有前景而因此感到迷茫呢？或是因健康不佳而觉得将来不会有好日子呢？倘若是，那你是骄傲的人，因为你现在正在以自己（或世界）的观点来领悟出一个消极的明天。或者你现在想到明天感到很有希望，因为看上去，你现在的事业、爱情、婚姻、家庭、健康都很乐观，而且你现在满满的人生规划，觉得自己现在有多少钱能投资，儿女长大懂事不需要愁，看上去自己的各种条件能让你年老后享清福。倘若是，那么按着圣经的话说你是极其骄傲的。因为你在为明天的筹划当中，根本不是先求神的国和神的义，只有满满自己的计划，靠的是自己的聪明。在圣经里没有一处是不警戒我们，告诉我们那是极其愚昧的人为明天的策划。若我们带着正直的心来判断时，教会真的是充满这样的教徒。一个谦卑靠主的人不在于他现在敬拜上帝的敬虔，也不在于他参加的侍奉或是他懂得唱的诗歌，当然也不在于他对人有怎样的礼貌或是谦虚，乃在于他带着一颗信靠神的应许的心态来期待明天，且为明天作出安排。

God created man different from animals. The nature of human life is to exist to eternity. The nature of animal life is for the survival of the flesh. Therefore, one of the biggest differences between man and animals is that man is conscious of time. Man will plan and arrange for tomorrow and even while living, they will think about their funeral. But animals are only concerned of their survival. A lion catches its prey because it is hungry now, not because of the lack of food tomorrow or the following month. The ant is diligent in storing food not because it knows how to plan for tomorrow or the next year, but that it is a creature created to accumulate food. It does this because of its instinct, not because it has a concept of time, knowing how to plan for tomorrow. Of all creations, only man is conscious of time. Man will not be happy and satisfied after eating his fill. He will think of tomorrow and feel worried, or feel lost at the thought of death. Therefore, God gives eternal life and tells man not to worry about tomorrow, because God has made arrangements for our tomorrow. Even when God's people Israel were being taken captive, God told them, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” <Jer 29:11>. Because God knows that people are conscious of tomorrow and the end, and that people will lose hope for tomorrow because of today's pain, such that their spirit will be tormented. Therefore, God not only promises His presence today, but also promises the blessings of tomorrow and till the end, and man can live in complete peace and joy. But one thing we must understand is that when man is conscious of time, he also has the responsibility before God of how to plan his tomorrow. Indeed, our moral responsibility to God is related to how we conceive and plan for our tomorrow. Whether a person is proud or humble before God is related to how he plans for tomorrow. Think about this, why are our hearts confused when we think of tomorrow? Is it because I think that my current academic qualification is not good enough such that I am worried that I can’t find a good job in the future? Or are you lost because you don’t see a future prospect for your career? Or do you think that you will not enjoy good days in the future due to poor health? If so, then you are a proud person, because you perceive a negative tomorrow from your own (or world’s) perspective. Or you think that your tomorrow is very promising, because it seems that your current career, love, marriage, family, health are all very optimistic, and you are planning your life fully, knowing how much money you can invest now, your children are grown up and sensible such that you need not worry and if you look to the future, it seems that your various conditions allow you to enjoy the blessings till you are old. If so, then according to what the Bible says, you are extremely proud. Because in planning for your tomorrow, you are not seeking first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, but you are only filled with your own plans, relying on your own intelligence. There is nowhere in the Bible that does not alert us regarding this, telling us that is how a foolish person plans his tomorrow. If we judge with a heart of integrity, the church is really full of such believers. A humble person who relies on the Lord is not about how godly his worship is right now, neither is it about the ministries in which he serves, nor the hymns he knows how to sing. Of course, it is also not related to how polite or modest he is to people, but it is about him having a heart that trusts God’s promises and anticipates his tomorrow, and makes arrangements for tomorrow.
