Thursday, May 29 How to Plan The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:1 Recommended Reading James 4:13-16 [ iz3.me] Dating back to the Roman Empire, one of the hallmarks of jurisprudence in America and other nations is the presumption of innocence. That is, a defendant is presumed to be innocent until he is proven guilty. As the Romans put it, "The burden of proof is on he who declares, not on he who denies." Presumption in this case protects individual rights, but in the spiritual realm presumption is not advised. Listen to Today's Radio Message [ iz3.me] The apostle James suggested as much when he said that presuming to know God's will without inquiring is unwise. He used the example of a group of men planning to start a new business in a distant city; they were totally confident their plan would be successful and therefore profitable (James 4:13-16). But James said such thinking is arrogant and boastful; God might have a different plan in mind. "Instead [ we ] ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that'" (James 4:15). Man can plan, but God has the final say (Proverbs 16:1). Do you have plans for today? Whether they are simple or complex, submit them to God for His approval. Invite Him to guide your steps along the way according to His will. Whether you shall live to reach home today or not depends absolutely upon God's will. Charles H. Spurgeon Read-Thru-the-Bible Job 9-12 [ iz3.me]
