We often make plans for ourselves, for our families and even for our careers, as if we have the absolute power to make it happen. Let us consider what James 4:13-15 says on this:
“(You say) Today or tomorrow, we will go to this city or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money। 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. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.’”
We ought to acknowledge that it is God who has control and sovereignty over our plans and our lives. We do this by giving Him praise when our plans are realized and in believing that He has a greater idea when the situation is otherwise.
Should we still make plans? Of course, we should! But let us include Him in our plans. Then be at rest that whatever happens, everything is well and good, because God is in control.
