This week in our lifegroup study we read James 4:13-16.
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit." How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that." Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.
These verses really hit home in that even in making plans to go out on a mission trip for God and with God's leading it is boasting in our own plans to make pronouncements of what we are going to do while there. So, for the record, in four sleeps, if it is the will of our God, we will be heading off to Honduras to meet Honduran Christians, work with the Honduran Church, and hopefully minister to the Honduran people. I suspect that, by the will of God, we will come back changed and with a new understanding of how God works in our world. I look forward to the adventure.
Bed time. Four sleeps. And it's all in God's hands (as if it wasn't all the time).
