My prayer for you for today is that you will know what
you ought to do and that you will have the courage to do it, in Jesus name.
James
4:13-17
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 plans, and all such boasting is evil. Remember, it is
sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
Short - Your life
is like the morning fog… This section in our scripture for today made me
think for a little while. I guess you will never realise how short life truly
is until you find yourself at the end of it. I believe it is like most things
in life, we don’t know what we have until we don’t have it anymore. What really
caught my attention is this: 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 plans, and all such boasting is evil. Remember,
it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
My dear friend, more now than ever I realise that each
day we live is a gift. It is much like a gift all wrapped up, and as the day
progresses we unfold and unwrap it. We can choose to see the beauty of it and
share what we were given or we can see all the negativity and allow that to
change our mood. You are not bound by this world instead you are a child of
God, a citizen of heaven on a journey of self-discovering side by side with
Jesus. You can do what people do when they are given a gift, you can share the
joy…
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
