Can You See Him In Your Future?
Can You See Him? Part 4
April 24, 2010 James 4:13-17


According to your faith will it be done to you Matthew 9:29 (NIV)

Faith assures us of the things we expect Hebrews 11:1 (GW)

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105 (NIV)

James 4:13-17
Now 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." 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. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.


4 Thoughts About Your Desired Future

1. Desire Beautiful Things For Your Life!
He (God) has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)

Where In my life would I like to see God do something beautiful?
[ ] In my lifes focus [ ] In my relationships[ ] In my love for God

[ ] In my career [ ] In myparents[ ] In my




Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 (NASB)

Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 10:23 (NLT)

2. Begin To Move In That Direction Today!
If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. Joshua 11:4 (NLT)

Follow all the directions the LORD your God has given you. Then you will live long and prosperous lives Deuteronomy 5:33 (GW&NLT)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB)

The LORD says, I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8 (NLT)


3. Rely on Gods Power To See You Through!
With Gods power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20 (NCV)

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:7-8 (NIV)


4. Look For Opportunities To Do Good While You Can!
Be very careful how you live. Dont live like those who are not wise. Live wisely. I mean that you should use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil times. So dont be foolish with your lives. But learn what the Lord wants you to do. Ephesians 5:15-17 (ICB)






Romans 8:22-25 (NLT)
For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we dont need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we dont yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT)
Gia-cô 4:13-17 (1934 Vietnamese Bible)
13 Hỡi anh em, là kẻ nói rằng: Hôm nay hoặc ngày mai, ta sẽ đi đến thành kia, ở đó một năm, buôn bán và phát tài,

14 song ngày mai sẽ ra thế nao, anh em chẳng biết! Vì sự sống của anh em là chi? Chẳng qua như hơi nước, hiện ra một lát rồi lại tan ngay.

15 Anh em phải nói trái lại: Ví bằng Chúa muốn, và ta còn sống, thì ta sẽ làm việc nọ việc kia.

16 Kìa anh em lấy những lời kiêu ngạo mà khoe mình! Phàm khoe khoang như vậy là xấu.

17 Cho nên, kẻ biết làm điều lành mà chẳng làm, thì phạm tội.
