Sermon Video: Who knows what tomorrow may bring? - James 4:13-17

We all make plans for the future, some of us more wisely than others, some with more efforts than others, but we all make plans, we have to.  We live moment by moment, the future will always be unknown to all of humanity, we may think we know what tomorrow will bring, but in the end it may be far better, or far worse, than we anticipate; and, in the end, we may not be there to see it.  How then do we plan, how do we live know when the future is so uncertain?  The answer is simple.  We recognize and acknowledge that God knows the future, that God deserves our gratitude as our Creator, and our allegiance as our Lord, and we live our lives humbly in service to the kingdom of God.  When we live now as we ought, our plans for the future will likewise reflect the purpose of God in this world: the development of the fruit of the Spirit in our own lives, and the spread of the Gospel's message of God's love and reconciling forgiveness awaiting our repentance.  What we cannot allow ourselves to do is live in pride, cultivating a facade of independence, for this is a dead-end, our only hope for meaning and purpose in life is to acknowledge God's rule over it.
