Planning With God

If you've ever volunteered at a summer camp and earned a camp name, you know that camp names generally reflect something about the person. My camp name is "Clipboard", so what do you think that says about me? I'm a planner.

But, whether you consider yourself a planner or not, the reality is that we all make plans in life--even if that "plan" is to go with the flow. We like to feel in control of our life, so we live by our preferred philosophies for the structure of our day-to-day.

James writes to a church experiencing famine and poverty, societal class distinctions, persecution and more. This was a group of Christians figuring out how to apply the teachings of Jesus to day-to-day life. This week in James 4:13-17, we'll explore what it looks like to make plans with God in mind.
