James 4:13-4:17

Yielding to God's Will

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to live in accordance with God's greater purpose, being about our Father's business, seeking His will. In these five verses of James chapter four, Pastor Lloyd dissects James' scrutiny about the will, our will verses God's will and the proper response to both. Today we'll continue our journey through one of the most challenging books in the bible.

  1. Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
  2. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
  3. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
  4. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
  5. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
