James 3 & 4 - wk4

"Good Plans"

Dr. Gary Singleton

Are you a planner?  Do you keep up with the schedules of every person in your family?  Do you put together a detailed itinerary for every family vacation?   When you see a list, do you have an urge to leave no item unchecked?  If any of this sounds familiar, chances are you’re a planner.
 
Being a planner is a good thing.  We count on the planners in our life to keep us organized and on track.  But being a planner has its drawbacks too. 
 
This Sunday we will wrap up our sermon series in James with a look at making plans.  James has some words of warning to those of us who are making plans without any input from God.  All of us have goals and dreams, and we have a plan of action to move us in that direction.  But James tells us we need to hold those plans in an open hand and not in a closed fist.
 
I hope you will join me Sunday as we learn from James that planning isn’t wrong, as long as we make our plans on our knees.
