"13 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: 14 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. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."
James 4:13-15
The most often asked question from Christians is this: how can I know what God wants me to do in my life? Have you been disappointed not receiving the answer, or receiving an answer you didn’t think was the right one?
If you are asking about God’s will, you are already on the right track! Don’t be like the merchants of James 4:13 who decided to ignore God’s plan all together and make their own plan. They decided to buy goods at one town and resell the same goods in another town to gain a large profit; they felt they could make a lot of money. They never thought to themselves, will the Lord give us another day to do this?
