James 4:13-17 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
Boasting About Tomorrow
13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
Thank You Lord for this message today. I probably have suffered a disease of such loose and boastful talks too many a times. Today's message really strikes me at the heart of the problem.
I come to You Lord in repentance. Thank You for showing me that it is by Your will, that things unfold. For it is only by Your will, that guides me step by step, to carry out each day's task. I may have plans, but if it's not Your plan, nothing will be done successfully.
Father give me the wisdom to walk in Your light, to seek Your will always. Show me the direction and plans You have for me, and I shall go, by Your will.
