Recalculating

James 4:13-17 (NLT)
13 Look here, you who say, ā€œToday or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.ā€ 14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow?Ā  14b Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.15 What you ought to say is, ā€œIf the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that (fill in the blank).ā€ 16 Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious (attempting to impress) plans, and all such boasting is evil. 17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.



Life’s too short — don’t waste it outside of God’s plan for your life



Proverbs 16:1-2 (NLT)
We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.


Proverbs 16:9 (NLT)
9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.


Your greatest strategy doesn’t even compare to God’s ultimate plan



Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,ā€ declares the Lord, ā€œplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


Psalms‬ ‭37:23-24‬ ‭NLT‬‬
ā€œThe LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.ā€



James 4:17 (NLT)
17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.



Luke 6:46-49 (NLT)
46 ā€œSo why do you keep calling me ā€˜Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.ā€



Disobedience leads to destruction



Obedience is less painful than regret.
—Christine Caine



James 1:22-25 (NLT)
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.



There’s blessing in obedience



Matthew 5:6 (NIV)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,Ā for they will be filled.
