James 4: 13-14
“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.”

It’s not that God does not allow us to dream and have great vision… but often we are not mindful of His place in those dreams… worse yet, we (most) often forget about Him.
Even for missions… are we going to serve the ppl? Refresh our own faith? Or simply to glorify His Name?

Apart from God, chaos and pain emerges.

Do I know when I sin? Am I aware of the darkness in this world or have I become numb to sin? Have I compromised the standards of the Lord unknowingly?
