Our verses for the week - James 4:15-17. What does it mean for a Christian to know that tomorrow is in God’s hands? It has everything to do with who we know God to be. He is our God, our Father in Jesus Christ. He is not a distant dictator. He is not apathetic to our good. On the contrary, His command of the future is absolutely targeted at our good. His rule of history is for the purpose of His glory in the everlasting good of His people, in and because of Jesus Christ. Which means, we don’t merely make plans and think, almost despairingly, “Well, God, if You will, we’ll see.” No. We make plans and bow our hearts to God and say, "Father, this is my plan but You are in control, and I trust that whatever the outcome, Your sovereign will is always aimed at my good because of Jesus Christ." (Parnell)
