What we Forget About our Life… Our life appears and quickly vanishes - mist (v. 14)

What we Forget About our Life… Our life appears and quickly vanishes - mist (v. 14) Our life on earth is not permanent – vanity Like a shadow (Psm. 144:4) Like Handbreadths (Psm. 39:5) Like a shepherd’s tent (Isa. 38:12) Like a weaver’s shuttle (Job 7:6) – Like a messenger runner (Job 9:25) Like a flower (Job 14:2)

God is Sovereign in Our Life … Expressed in our words “If the Lord Wills” – not a formula of Superior Spirituality but a Submission to Sovereignty (Lk. 12:20)

God is Sovereign in Our Life … Expressed in our words “If the Lord Wills” – not a formula of Superior Spirituality but a Submission to Sovereignty. God’s will expressed in His Word (I Pet. 2:13-15, Acts 5:29)

God is Sovereign in Our Life … Expressed in our words “If the Lord Wills” – not a formula of Superior Spirituality but a Submission to Sovereignty. God’s will expressed in His Word (I Pet. 2:13-15, Acts 5:29) God’s will expressed in Salvation, Sanctification and Suffering (I Tim. 2:4, I Thess. 4:3-8, I Pet. 3:17)

God is Sovereign in Our Life … Expressed in our words “If the Lord Wills” – Acknowledging God’s Providence in areas of life He has not expressed His will.. What day will be my last? What city should I enter to work? How long is long enough to determine if can prosper in that city or not? What trade proposal should I make?

God is Sovereign in Our Life … To not acknowledge this fact assumes we are in total control of life – such BOASTINGS or VAUNTINGS are EVIL. (v. 16) To not acknowledge this fact is sin (v. 17, Matt. 25:45-46) Missing the mark Sin of omission How serious?
