June 9th -- James 4
If The Lord Will
Life is so full of uncertainties that there are no guarantees; failure is as possible as success; indifferent health as fitness; tomorrow's plans can be brutally overthrown by untimely death, so much so that the wise man as he looks ahead seeks for divine guidance in the spirit of "Thy will be done" and then prepares to accept the offering of each day as it comes.
James repeats the warning in his so practical Epistle: "Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain; whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will we shall live and do this or that."
W.W. Gillingham, The Christadelphian, 1978, page 164
