COMPLETE IN OUR LIFE ADMIN

Bible Reading: James 4:13-5:6


Big Idea: Life is but a mist so make room for God’s sovereignty and learn to do his good.

1. How to Plan Without God (James 4:13-17)

  • Living Like We Are in Control — forgetting God’s sovereignty.
  • Forgetting Who We Are — our life is a mist.
  • Knowing Better but Not Doing Better — failing to plan for God’s good.

Antidote: Begin with, If the Lord wills… to shape plans around God’s purposes.

2. Pursuing Wealth Over God (James 5:1-6)

  • James warns against envying the wealthy oppressor.
  • God hears the cries of the exploited.

Antidote: Be rich in faith and good deeds, not just in possessions.

Reflection

Where in my life am I planning without reference to God?
