The Sovereignty Of God And His Will For Our Lives

As a new year rolls in, we seem to be confronted by two equal states of awareness. The first being the grace that comes with a new day and new mercies that invoke new inspiration, new passion, and new vitality to life. On the other hand, we can't help but feel the weight of the time we will never have back and the time that is quickly coming to an end. James gives us great insight as to how we are to approach this dichotomous situation. In the end, our greatest joy and fulfillment in these days will come from living out God's will for His pleasure resulting in His glory.
