Navigating Family – Part 1

How to Manage Unexpected Changes

(James 4:13-17)

  1. Recognize God’s sovereignty.

“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…” vs. 13-14 (NIV)

“Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.’”  vs. 15 (NIV)

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”  Psalm 46:1-2 (NIV)

 

2. Be ready to adapt.

“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.” vs. 14a (NIV)

“But I trust in you, Lord; I say, ‘You are my God. My times are in YOUR HANDS…” Psalm 31:14-15 (NIV)

 

3. Start enjoying your family now.

“…What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” vs. 14b (NIV)

“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” Ecclesiastes 4:11 (NLT)

“Anyone who knows the right thing to do, but does not do it, is sinning.” vs. 17 (NIV)
