Listen "God's Plan, Not Mine | James 4:13-17"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Summary:In this episode, we’re talking about the illusion of control—how we make plans, chase goals, and map out our lives without always stopping to acknowledge God. James reminds us that life is short, like a mist that vanishes, and real wisdom comes from surrendering our steps to Him. But he doesn’t stop there—he also challenges us with a hard truth: sin isn’t just about the wrong we do, but also the right we fail to do.Scripture:"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."Connect:Thanks for taking the time to listen to Talk Scripture.
