"Don't Worry God, I've Got This Covered"

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. James 4:17

This scripture does not mince words. There are no metaphors or hidden symbolism to unravel. In verses 13-17 we learn that we ought not boast about what we will and will not do. We have no idea what tomorrow holds. Rather, we ought to acknowledge that the Lord knows what tomorrow holds, and we should say that if He wills it, we will do it. So, in light of this knowledge, if you continue in your boasting about how much you’ve got it under control (dishonoring God), you are sinning. So once you know what you ought to do, if you don’t, that is sin.

Pretty simple.  

Have a blessed Sunday!
