Categories: Don’s Daily Devotions

Fri 3rd July  –  Read James 4:13-15

V13-14:  In what seems an abrupt shift of focus – though still the underlying emphasis is a rebuke to pride and presumption – James now warns against regarding our own plans and desires for the future (” tomorrow”) as sure and certain. We do not know what tomorrow will bring. Our life is such a frail and fleeting thing – like a morning mist. We cannot presume our plans will be carried out – we may not live to see ” tomorrow”, or even if we do, our plans may come to nothing for various reasons. How we are reminded of that in the current situation we are all in.

V15:  Rather, all our plans, hopes and purposes should be submitted to the will of God. Do we know this truth in living practice, or do we make plans like unbelievers, assuming they are certain to be fulfilled? Let us learn to submit everything to the perfect will of God.
