Digging Deeper James 4:15-16 Points to Ponder

We have just 15 more weeks in the book of James. I hope you are being blessed through your meditations and meanderings through this short but practical book.

James 4:15-16
Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Points to ponder
Whether we say the words "If the Lord wills" or not, it is important that our heart attitude and actions reflect that we believe it. I think sometimes people tag that statement on the end of what they are saying like a by-line, but it sounds scripted and shallow, as if they were saying it because they think they should. Personally, I am more impressed and touched by the people I know that may not say, "if the Lord wills" but their life shouts it with every expression, every decision and every action. I want to be more like THAT.

Blessings,
Diane
