Welcome poetjones! Anytime you need a question answered, let us know!


we the lord's help and determination im going back to college in september.

I just wanted to commend you for this phrase about keeping things in God's will. There is a particular scripture that deals with this, but can you beleive it? I can't remember where!! I know that either Paul or Jesus said it and it delt with rebuking people for say that we will do such and such tomorrow and that they should say "If the Lord wills".

I'm usually pretty good about being able to find the verses I want in my concordance or topical Bible, but for some reason this one is escapeing me! My dad already went to sleep by the time I called, (he would know) and my mom can't remember either. If you or someone else around here knows it I'd really appreciate it because of course, now it's going to bug me. In any case, I should know it tomorrow, Lord willing, because my dad will be awake to tell me.

I'm sorry I rambled and made this so long. All I wanted to do was say welcome! :oops:

Got it! Sorry. :oops:

It's James 4:13-15
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
