have you talked to GOD?...

what are your plans for the future, for 2012?  have you set days, marked your calendar, scheduled appointments and then prayed, “by the way, GOD, i want you to bless my life”?  GOD says that’s practical atheism.  the person who acts as if GOD doesn’t exist in his planning is no different than the person who doesn’t believe HE exists.  does GOD have a say in your schedule or do you just fill it up?  does GOD have a priority in your planning?

let’s get specific.  have you talked to GOD about how you’re going to retire?  or have you just thought you can do it any way you want to?  have you talked to GOD about your plans to go back to school? to get a degree?  have you talked to GOD about your plans to get married? to get divorced?  to date?  to remain single?  don’t you think HE is interested in those kinds of things?  HE is.  have you talked to GOD about your business?  a career change?  your investments and how you spend your money? what about moving?

james here in chapter 4 verses13-17 is saying that none of us has any right to just plan our lives as if GOD doesn’t even care.  check in with HIM first.  consult HIM.

just a thought from the front porch…
