“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”‭‭James‬ ‭4:13-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because James says, “yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.” I dwell a lot on “tomorrow”, but thankfully it’s a lot less than it used to be. A thought came to my head a month or so ago that’s says, “His presence in the present”. I’m sure I read it somewhere, but either way, I like it. I think God loves for us to be with Him in the present. We are fully engaged with Him there. The thief can steal our lives by keeping us in the past or future. Please pray that we and our friends practice “His presence in the present” today. Please pray for the men considering CLC. Thank you for all your prayers for Bonni yesterday. The surgery went as well as possible and she is starting the road to recovery with encouragement.
