Scripture: James 4: 13-15
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.”
Scripture Commentary: Here today, gone tomorrow has been said time after time.
“I just saw them last week!” How many times have you said that? We go through life making plans for today as though God does not exist; however, our future is in His hands.
Life is short no matter how many years we live.
Don’t be deceived into thinking that you have lots of time remaining. When you were a teenager, you did not think about 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90. Look at you now!
Live for God today!
When you live for God today, you will have fulfilled God’s plan for you no matter when your life ends. When you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you are a servant for Our Lord God.
Do not leave God out as you try to plan your life. There is no point in making plans as if God does not exist. You are here because He has put you here for His purpose. Ask God for direction in your life and God will show you the way.
