“… For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” (James 4:14-15).

I like to think of this verse as a boiling pot of water.  Steam rises from the pot and within seconds disappears.  Just like our life. 

This is a frequent metaphor throughout the Old Testament of the Bible. Check out a few…

Psalm 102:11; Job 8:9; 1 Chron. 29:15

The bottom line…

“No man should ever say that he will do this or that, without the condition of IF GOD WILL.”

We all have goals we wish to obtain.  Sometimes along that journey we become so focused on our desire to achieve that objective, we neglect to see what is happening all around us. 

Take the time to consider what God’s will is for you on this day.  Sometimes he might have to make a quick stop along the way to shed His light on another’s life!

Consider it!
