Living Intentionally
"Intentional" seems to be the "in" word/concept these days. I agree we have to make plans, express our intentions, but apart from God's specific commands which are nonnegotiable, I have learned to live with a pencil, a good eraser, and the delete key.
James wrote "Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit---yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'" (4:13-15). This is true intentional living: to say If the Lord wills we will live and do this or that. Review Proverbs, especially chapter 16, for more bread on this matter.
