You Can't Create A New Day

Hello everyone,

Humans are known for prediction, probability and assumption, they would tell you where their company would be in a certain number of years judging by their analysis. These and more are common in the way Man do their things. But this isn’t how God wants us to live our lives. Am I saying it is not good to anticipate a bright future? It is good, but there is a way God wants us to go about our way of doing these things.

James 4:13-14 says, “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; ₁₄ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” We don’t know what would happen in the next second, we only anticipate which is based on chance, it could happen or not. To God, our existence here on earth appears to be as a vapour which comes and goes very quickly. So how are we to speak? James 4:15 says, “Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” The Lord God determines how long a person spends here on earth, and He has given everyone a purpose to fulfil here on earth, so we are to understand that every second we spend here on earth is by the will of God, thus, we should rest on His will in order to do anything, because we don’t know when we would be called up.

James went further in verse 16 and 17 which says, “But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. ₁₇ Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him is sin.” To say where your life or whatever thing would be without His will, to God is considered as arrogance, because what you are implying is that you are the determinant of your existence, whereas, understanding that whatever you intend to do is based on the will of God, and it is He who gives you more time to do what you intend to do. But the truth about life is that we often create how we want to live our lives, instead of asking God what plans He has for us and how we are to live. Doing this is living in His will, because not only has He given you what to do, you would be conscious of the fact that He sent you on a mission and you are meant to deliver at an appointed time. And with the help of the Holy Spirit, we would live a perfect life before God.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
