Bible Reading: James 4: 13 - 17
Topic: Trust God For Tomorrow
As human beings we
sometimes make very exhaustive and meticulous plan for our lives without due
consideration of submitting such plans under God's Will
James admonishes against
such arrogance and foolishness seeing that we don't have control over our
lives. God alone has that Power, therefore we should approach all our planning
in a spirit of humility and say "if the Lord wills, we shall live and do
this or that (v. 15)
The Psalmist says
"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it;
unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm
127: 1)
Jesus counsels against
anxiety over our material needs of food and clothing (Matt. 6: 25 - 34)
Since we have no power
over what happens, it is only reasonable that we should depend entirely on the
One Who has Absolute Power over ALL happenings in all days.
Proverbs 3: 5 says
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding."
Trusting the Lord for the
unknown morrow brings peace to the mind and sound health to the soul.
You have no power over
tomorrow therefore let God handle it , you can never regret doing so.
Prayer:
Thank You Lord Jesus
because You hold my future in Your Hands, I ask for grace to trust You
absolutely without wavering for a better tomorrow, Amen.
Memory verse: James 4: 17
"Therefore to him
that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin"
