If the Lord Wills


“Why do I not call on God?

Why do I worry and invent plans?”

— Charles Spurgeon


"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.””

‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


This passage warns against the arrogance of making plans without acknowledging God's sovereignty. It calls for humility and recognition of human life's transience.


Team Wade is praying for you, loves you, and there’s nothing you can do about it! 👊🧡
