In your life, how many of those plans begin with the phrase or thought, “if the Lord wills.”?<br><br>When considering the phrase, “if the Lord wills,” or “Lord willing,” what does that actually mean? What does that look like in everyday life and conversations?<br><br>How does verse 17 fit with the rest of this passage? Are we in sin if we don’t add the prefix “If the Lord wills” to every plan, no matter the gravity of the plan? What might this sin of omission look like in our lives?<br><br>If we are to consider God’s will, how do we know what his will is for us?
