Session 8: Submitting Plans to God
Read James 4:13-17
Memory Verse: James 4:15, “Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
Study Questions:
1. What does God's Word mean by describing life as a mist? How should this perspective of life shape our priorities?
2. Why is it important to view our earthly life through an eternal lens? How does this mindset influence our daily decisions?
3. Why is it arrogant to plan without considering God’s will? How can we guard against this attitude?
4. How can we balance making plans while still submitting to God’s will? What are some ways we can seek His guidance in practical decision-making?
5. How does acknowledging God’s sovereignty change our approach to decision-making?
6. How does “know the right thing to do and fail to do it” challenge us in areas where we might delay obedience?
7. What are some examples of subtle boasting we might not recognize? How can we shift from self-reliance to God-reliance in these areas?
8. Call to Action: Identify a specific plan or decision in your life and submit it to God in prayer. Ask Him to align your heart with His will.
