I was amazed and impressed at how David and Allyson had planned their future together. David told me about how they had set money aside, how they were working while attending school, and how they had methodically outlined their goals for the next several years. After he had told me all of this, I marveled as David concluded with, “Lord willing.”
How many people, including Christians, realize that we have very little control over our circumstances, successes, and fate? We are dependent on so many external forces and ultimately we are at the mercy of the LORD. This is why James counsels us, “…you do not even know what will happen tomorrow…you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord's will, we will…’” (James 4:14-15).
Anything more said is arrogance as James goes on to say, “All such boasting is evil” (James 4:16).
