How's the view?

Tuesday - 9/11 - James 4:13-17

Our side of the fence, with our restricted view of life, offers a view of only what is happening in the present. Even the rest of the day, only minutes or hours away, is something we can't see.

All we can say we are certain about is what has happened and what is happening right now in our lives. Other than this, we can't make certain plans that we know are going to come to pass.

Yet, James is addressing people who wanted to go to a certain city, make money and after a year come home.

Do you make plans like this? Is this right or wrong?

How can you make plans about the future when you can't even rely on a weather forecast for tomorrow?

Is there someway we can make plans about the future in a way that honors Christ?

Read James 5:1-6 for next Sunday
