If the Lord Wills. . .

James 4:13-17 | Undivided: Grace for Change from the Book of James | Trent Hunter This week we come to an especially memorable passage in James’ letter, 4:13–17. Here James offers us a memorable line to speak as we make our plans: “If the Lord wills…” It's a misused phrase, sometimes to bless our own plans and at other times as a mindless mantra. But far worse, we neglect to acknowledge the Lord in our plans for the future. According to James, one of the most evil things we can do is to make careful plans for tomorrow without accounting for the Lord who holds all of our days. This is a convicting truth. But equally as comforting.
