John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

James 4 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

James 4 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

When we are Living The Line between the Two:

(I)Life has Complexity to it!

James 413 Come now, you who say, “Today

or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”;

Romans 1211 not lagging in diligence,

fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

When we are Living The Line between the Two:

Colossians 323 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

(II) Life has Uncertainties to it!

Trust each Day as a Gift from God!!!

When we are Living The Line between the Two:

Ephesians 516 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

(III) Life has Brevity to it!When we are Living The Line between the Two:

Psalm 909 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.Psalm 9012 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

James 4 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

An Attitude we should never take, Self-Sufficiency

An Assumption we should never make, We have another day

An Activity we should never forsake, If the Lord wills

(IV) Life has its Spirituality!When we are Living The Line between the Two:

James 4 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
