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. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
James 4:13-15
As I was thinking about my visa this morning, God reminded me of this passage in Scripture. I don't know if I will get my visa in time for my flight Wednesday. I don't know if I'll be able to go the Eurasia Regional Conference next week. I don't know when I will get to Bulgaria. I don't know how long I will stay in Bulgaria! God reminded me that God knows everything, and I don't have to worry. If it is the Lord's will, I will go to Bulgaria in a few days. If it is the Lord's will, I will go to Bulgaria in a couple weeks. God asks me to trust, even when (especially when) I don't know what will happen. No one knows how long their life will last, no one knows what will happen to them. The Lord asks us to put our trust in God and not in ourselves. God will take care of us!!
