The David Spoon Experience 2-23-23 Part 2

1) James says (to Christians): 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.” 14 Why 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. 15 Instead, you should say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil (James 4:13-16).

2) We examine two essential guarantees from God that will help us understand that sometimes, the best offense is to lay it at the cross. And wait for God to tell us to pick it back up. Of all the images that God communicates to us regarding Himself, the one that is least acknowledged is the one where He is a Gardener. But the reasonings are essential. If only God can give the growth, then only God can be the Gardener. Even in the dirt, God makes stuff grow. People as well as plants.
