Submitting Plans to God
Commentators unanimously note that Paul's phrase, "if the Lord will," is a profound statement of dependence on God's sovereignty. It reflects the biblical principle, also found in James 4:15, that all human plans are subject to God's permission. This encourages believers to hold their own ambitions with humility, acknowledging God's ultimate authority over their lives and futures.
