"IF THE LORD WILLS!"

James 4:13-15                       (ESV)
"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.""



Our plans can be so meticulous, but GOD's Plan trumps everything we have ever planned.  If we live by FAITH, we should walk day by day doing what the LORD leads us to do, where the LORD leads us to go, and when the LORD directs us to act!  As for me, I don't have the intelligence to avoid even the slightest of pitfalls in my life, so why should I think I can guide me through the mine fields the enemy can bring?

The hospitals, morgues, and prisons are full of people who had other plans for their lives.   We need to live by "IF THE LORD WILLS" and follow HIS Plan for our lives!  "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will make straight your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6).  HIS Plan works!!!
