While we think we have it all together and can mold our futures the way we want them, in reality, we have absolutely no control over the future at all. God holds the key to our future and it will play out as He has ordained. James 4:14b declares that we are “a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” We want to believe that we can dictate the path we’ll take; however, the future is not ours to know. When we truly live for God we embrace each day as if it were our last and while we may plan vacations or long weekends for the not too distant future out of necessity, we are not to be consumed with the thought of future events. God has always and will always know what is best for us. God can navigate through treacherous waters much more safely than we ever could; therefore, we need to allow Him to do so. Thinking we have it all together will only lead to our coming apart at the worst possible time. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
