Some thoughts on the New Year in James 4:13-14, clearly the context of the passage James has a much larger application point to make to all believers: Knowing WHO holds the future is FAR BETTER than knowing WHAT the future holds.
God has given us great grace in not allowing us to know WHAT the future holds as the unveiling of tomorrow would causes us many moments of fear and dread at what we didn’t want to face while causing us to miss the countless blessing that each day held. And if we knew a head of time our day and hour that our life would end we would die thousands of times before we would actually die and fail to live to our fullest.
Saints, attempting to live outside the will of God will cause us trouble instead of peace; the safest most joy-filled existence any Christian can have is to be right where God wants you to be! We must never forget that the will of God is never separated from the heart of God and as such, His will for us is an expression of His love towards us. So sit back and make sure you enjoy the moment God has given you this new year….it will be a blessing you won’t want to miss one second of because you are His love story. Happy New Year!!!
