Forget MY Word. Go To THE Word.

Today I am just a little too foggy headed to put much into words. This allergy season is killing me!

As I spent time reading God's Word though yesterday, He was showing me so much. Have you ever been so saturated with Him that your leaky vessel can't quite contain it? That is me. All I can say is the the book of James and 1 John have been sweeping me off my feet and planting me firmly before my Lord. What a blessing to know that even when I don't feel I can stand, that He has me firmly in His hand. I can trust Him in all things and should be more vigilant in doing so every day.

Here is one passage I remind myself of often, which I read once again today. I pray it speaks to you as much as it has to me. Since I can't seem to find the words, let's just go straight to THE Word!

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit." You don't even know what tomorrow will bring - what your life will be! For you are a bit of smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.


Instead, you should say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So for the person who knows to do good and doesn't do it, it is a sin.
James 4:13-17
