Today's Verse - James 4:15 (KJV)

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

—James 4:15 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

While I like to have choices, and I like to be responsible for my own decisions, I am truly thankful that God allows me to submit my life to his will and place my trust in him. The Father is at work in me to do his will (Phil. 2:13) and to work for my best good (Rom. 8:28). I gladly acknowledge that my plans are subject to his will. I am appreciative that my goals and successes are in his hands. I gladly proclaim that what lies ahead for me can be summarized by one phrase: "If the Lord wills!"

My Prayer...​

Thank you, Abba Father, that my life and my future are in your hands. Forgive me for the times that my plans are too full of myself and not consciously dependent upon you. Thank you for rescuing me from the messes I have made because of my failed plans built around my own foolish arrogance. Dear Father, I gladly place my plans, my life, and my future in submission to your will. In Jesus' holy name, and by his power, I pray. Amen.

[UsherDaniel]

Leave it all to God, He is the One who will decide with our future. Our life on earth is borrowed and we shall return again where we came from. So, live a life that pleases the Lord and obey His word. Blessings shall come to your life while you do what Jesus tells you to do.

 

[GreeterDominick]

Let us all obey the voice of the Lord. To obey Him is to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul. As for me, I will obey whatever Jesus tells me to do and go wherever the Lord tells me to go.
