What does the Bible say about your plans?
This week in our What Does the Bible Say About...? series, we looked at how a follower of Jesus should prioritize their time.
Mark walked us through James 4 to challenge our assumptions about control, reminding us that our lives are like a mist—short, unpredictable, and not ultimately our own. Instead of overcomplicating or oversimplifying our schedules, we’re invited to hold our plans with open hands, asking God what He wants for our time.
From the importance of Sabbath to the tension between good things competing for our attention, this message highlights how surrendering our calendars to God’s will can lead to a more intentional, hope-filled life. If you've ever wondered what it means to seek God's kingdom first—day by day—this episode is a powerful starting point.
