Verse 15— For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will. For the reason that we know nothing of the future, and fully realizing our entire dependence upon God, we should say, If it is the will of the Lord, or if it shall please the Lord, and we shall live, we will do this or that. I understand this to mean that every determination on the part of the creature should be uttered, or if simply enter­tained having always in view our weakness and our de­pendence upon God, having in view God's will and pleasure in the premises, and not solely our own will and pleasure, disregarding our relation to him. (Proverbs 16:9; Psalms 37:23.)
