James 4:13-17
The Sin of Pride and Presumption
If there is one thing I've learned over the years is to never, never leave God out of your life's plans.
When we fail to acknowledge God and His leadership for our future, we are living in pride.
We must do nothing, plan nothing and attempt to bring nothing to pass without first seeking the Lord's will in the matter.
What I want is immaterial. What God wants is material.
For what I want may never come to pass, but what He wants will always be done. Whatever we do, we need to be sure that God's goals are our goals and that we always maintain a proper view of the future.
Have you been guilty of these things? Planning and leaving God out? Let us not be guilty of the sin of pride and presumption. But, rather, let us learn to trust the Lord and submit to His will for our lives. We must never leave God out of our plans.
Peace and blessings,
Pastor Cornel van Eyk
