James 4
13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Boasting About Tomorrow
The foolishness of forgetting God. He is the "key"
-Our common problem: Everyday life. The curse of the familiar.
-Our flawed assumptions: That we are in control, we assume his place. We don't know tomorrow. Don't boast. Worry is a flawed attempt to control.
-Our greatest good: Gods will. "If the Lord wills". We are not in control. Seek Him. Don't force anything! Jer 29:11. We can't take the credit when things go right. Proverbs 16:1-3,9
-Act on what you know: Sins of omission. Act. No fear, He is responsible for the results.
God please open the doors for my family's future
