Passage Read: James 4-5
Meditation Verses: 4:15-16
Thought
I do not know the details of God's plans for me or anyone else, so to make declarations about events or actions or the future is presumptuous on my part. If the Lord should give me a revelation, then I can speak about the future; otherwise, I must be careful not to say anything definite about anyone or anything. I can speak according to God's Word, but God's Word does not give details about anyone living today. I can neither predict the best or the worst. I can only give an opinion.
Application
So I need to be open to anything that the Lord might want to do with me and my family. It might be the pastorate or it might be something completely different. It might be in Cedar Rapids or it might be somewhere else. If the Lord wills, we will stay here and do something. If not, we must go where He desires.
